Collection: Panko Japanese breadcrumbs

Panko is a Japanese breadcrumb that has become popular all over the world thanks to its light, crunchy texture. Unlike traditional breadcrumbs, which are usually made from dry bread ground into fine crumbs, panko is made from crustless white bread, which is dried, then crumbled into large pieces. The Japanese word "panko" (パン粉) literally translates as "crumb bread", which aptly reflects its unique texture. It is widely used in Japanese cuisine to bread foods such as tempura, tonkatsus (breaded pork), croquettes, fish and seafood. It gives a light, crispy crust to fried dishes without becoming heavy or greasy.
