Description

Dried whole wheat breadcrumbs are small pieces of whole wheat bread that have been dehydrated until they lose their moisture, acquiring a crunchy texture ideal for use as an ingredient in various recipes. This type of breadcrumb is made from whole wheat bread, which retains the bran and germ of the grain, providing superior nutritional value compared to traditional white bread.

Their origin is linked to Mediterranean and European cuisines, where breadcrumbs are used to add texture and flavor to dishes such as meatballs, stuffings, gratins, and as a base for healthy breading.

Dried whole wheat breadcrumbs are rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion, and also contain B-complex vitamins, minerals such as iron and magnesium, and natural antioxidants present in the bran. Being dry, they have a long shelf life and are easy to store.

In different regions of Latin America, dried whole wheat breadcrumbs may also be known as whole wheat breadcrumbs, ground whole wheat bread, or simply whole wheat breadcrumbs. Their use in the kitchen is versatile, ranging from breading to stuffings or thickeners for sauces.
