Bread cubes are small, bite-sized pieces of bread typically made by cutting or tearing loaves into uniform chunks. Commonly used in recipes like stuffing, bread pudding, or croutons, they are versatile and found in a variety of cuisines, particularly European and American. Bread cubes can be made from different bread types, such as white, whole wheat, rye, or gluten-free options, each offering distinct flavors and nutritional profiles. Whole grain varieties provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making them a healthier choice. However, bread cubes made from enriched or refined flours may be lower in nutrients and higher in simple carbohydrates, which can contribute to blood sugar spikes if consumed in excess. Homemade bread cubes allow for better control of ingredients and the avoidance of added preservatives found in some pre-packaged options. Pairing them with nutrient-dense components in dishes enhances their overall healthfulness.
