Dried bread, commonly known as rusks or hardtack, is a staple in various cuisines for its long shelf life and versatility. Often made from basic ingredients like flour, water, salt, and occasionally yeast, dried bread is baked and subsequently air-dried or toasted to remove moisture, yielding a crisp, dense texture. It is popular in Mediterranean, European, and Middle Eastern cuisines, often paired with soups, dips, or as a base for toppings. Nutritionally, dried bread is low in water content, making it less perishable while retaining its caloric density. It provides carbohydrates for energy, but it is typically low in fat and protein. While it is a convenient snack or accompaniment, dried bread may lack fiber and essential nutrients found in whole grain versions. Moderation is key, especially with varieties that contain added sugars or high sodium content. Look for minimally processed options for a healthier choice.
