About Panko breadcrumbs

Panko breadcrumbs are a type of flaky, light-textured breadcrumb originating from Japan, commonly used in Japanese cuisine for frying and breading. Unlike traditional breadcrumbs, panko is made from crustless white bread, leading to larger, airy flakes that create a crispier coating. Nutritionally, panko is relatively low in fat but contains carbohydrates as its main macronutrient. It typically provides about 100 calories per 1-ounce (28g) serving, along with small amounts of protein and minimal fiber. While it is not a significant source of vitamins or minerals, its texture and lower absorption of oil during frying make it a popular choice for crispy coatings in dishes like tempura or breaded cutlets.

Health Benefits

• Panko breadcrumbs absorb less oil during frying compared to traditional breadcrumbs, resulting in a lower-fat final dish.
• Carbohydrates in panko provide quick energy, which is helpful for maintaining daily activity levels.
• Being light and airy, panko helps reduce the calorie load when compared to heavier frying batters.
