Garlic croutons are small, crispy cubes of bread seasoned with garlic and herbs, often toasted or baked to perfection. Typically made from day-old bread, they are lightly coated with olive oil or butter and infused with garlic for bold flavor and aroma. Commonly found in European and American cuisines, croutons originated as a way to utilize stale bread, enhancing soups, salads, and dishes with their crunchy texture. While they offer some fiber from the bread and potential antioxidants from garlic and herbs, their health profile can vary. Store-bought varieties may contain added sodium, preservatives, or unhealthy fats, while homemade options allow for better control over ingredients. Moderation is key, as they can be calorie-dense depending on preparation. Garlic croutons serve as a savory topping that enriches meals, adding both flavor and texture to your plate.
