About Croutons
Croutons are small, toasted or grilled pieces of bread typically seasoned with herbs, garlic, or spices for added flavor. Originating from French cuisine, their name comes from "croûte," meaning "crust." Traditionally made from wheat-based bread like baguettes or sourdough, croutons frequently accompany salads, soups, and casseroles, providing texture and crunch. Nutritionally, croutons are primarily composed of carbohydrates and contain moderate calories, depending on added fats during preparation. While they offer some fiber and trace amounts of vitamins from the bread's base ingredients, croutons can be high in sodium and saturated fats if made with butter or excessive seasoning. Whole-grain or baked varieties are healthier options, offering more nutrients and less fat. Whether store-bought or homemade, moderation is key to balancing taste and nutrition.
