Description

Fine breadcrumbs are a basic ingredient in cooking, especially valued for their light and uniform texture. They are made from dried bread crumbs ground to a very fine consistency, ideal for breading, coating foods, or thickening preparations.

Their origin is simple and traditional, as breadcrumbs come from reusing leftover or stale bread, thus making use of a staple food in many cultures. This technique avoids waste and provides a crispy, golden texture to dishes like milanesas, croquettes, meatballs, or for gratin.

Among their properties, their ability to absorb liquids, achieve a more even breading, and create a crunchy texture without being heavy stands out. Additionally, being a dry product, they are easy to store and have a long shelf life in the pantry.

In Latin American Spanish, fine breadcrumbs are also known as pan molido fino or simply miga de pan when referring to a very soft and refined texture. Although some regions use terms like "pan rallado" or "pan molido," the main idea is the same: a versatile ingredient to add body, texture, and flavor to various culinary preparations.
