Personally I cannot see the fuss over Panko bread crumbs. I realise that they are different but really do we need to spend the extra money?
I make my own bread and any left overs are ground and dried for pantry storage. I stopped spending the money on Panko a long time ago because I found that the bread used like all commercial bread had additives. I like the taste of my crumbs and the “pot luck” flavours I get from using a variety of bread types I have made.
Here is the difference between the crumb types:
Panko Bread Crumbs
- crustless white bread
- dried
- no flavourings
- ground into small light flakes
- may have preservatives or additives in the original bread
Dried Bread Crumbs (store bought)
- no flavourings but the types of bread used may give an inconsistent flavour
- a mix of bread types including crusts
- finely ground
- may have preservatives or additives in the original bread
Dried Bread Crumbs (home made from home made bread)
- no flavourings but the types of bread used may give an inconsistent flavour
- a mix of bread types including crusts
- ground to whatever your preferred consistency
- no preservatives or additives in the original bread
