Toasted croutons are bite-sized pieces of bread that are seasoned and baked or toasted until crisp. Typically made from white, whole wheat, or sourdough bread, they are often flavored with olive oil, butter, garlic, herbs, or cheese. Originating in European cuisine, croutons are a classic addition to soups and salads, adding texture and flavor. While they are low in moisture and shelf-stable, their nutritional profile varies depending on preparation. Whole grain croutons may offer fiber and nutrients, but many varieties are high in refined carbohydrates, sodium, and fats. Choosing croutons made with healthier oils and minimal additives can reduce unhealthy aspects. Moderation is key, as their calorie density can add up quickly. For homemade options, whole grain bread with light seasoning is a healthier alternative to store-bought versions.
