Breadcrumb

Breadcrumb is a common food ingredient that comes from bread. When bread is dried out and ground into tiny crumbs, these breadcrumbs are used in various recipes to add texture, crispiness, and flavour.

To make breadcrumbs, bakers take slices of bread and dry them out either by toasting or leaving them out to become stale. Once the bread is thoroughly dried, it is ground or processed into small, fine crumbs. These breadcrumbs can be seasoned with herbs, spices, or even cheese for added taste.

You'll often find breadcrumbs listed on food labels because they are used in many dishes to create a crispy outer layer or to help bind ingredients together. They are commonly used to coat foods like chicken nuggets, fish fingers, or vegetable fritters before frying, giving them a crunchy texture. Breadcrumbs can also be mixed into meatballs or burger patties as a binding agent.
