About Crutons

Croutons are small, crunchy cubes of baked or fried bread often seasoned with herbs, spices, and oils. Originating from French cuisine, the term "crouton" comes from "croûte," meaning crust, and they are widely used in salads, soups, and stuffing recipes for added texture and flavor. Typically made from white, whole-grain, or sourdough bread, croutons can be a source of carbohydrates and, in some cases, dietary fiber, depending on the type of bread used. Some varieties contain added fat, salt, or preservatives, which may contribute to higher calorie and sodium content, making portion control important. Homemade croutons can offer a healthier alternative, as you can customize the ingredients to reduce excess oils or additives. While croutons can enhance the taste and crunch of meals, they are best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, paired with nutrient-rich foods like fresh vegetables or lean proteins.
