About Panko

Panko is a type of Japanese breadcrumb known for its light, airy, and crispy texture, making it a popular choice for frying and breading. Unlike traditional breadcrumbs, panko is made from crustless bread that is baked and then ground into flakes. Originating from Japanese cuisine, panko has become a global favorite for adding crunch to dishes like tonkatsu, tempura, and even Western-style fried foods. Nutritionally, panko is low in calories and fat but typically lacks significant fiber and nutrients found in whole-grain alternatives. While it can contribute to the texture of a balanced dish, its healthiness depends on how it's used—fried recipes may increase fat and calorie content. For lighter options, panko can be baked rather than fried. Many varieties are available, including whole-wheat options for those seeking healthier alternatives.
