Description

Soft bread cubes are small pieces of bread cut into small squares, typically made from fresh, soft-textured bread. This ingredient is widely used in various recipes, especially in salads, side dishes, stuffings, and soups, where they add texture and flavor without losing their original softness.

The soft bread from which these cubes are obtained often has a European origin, but its use has spread globally, making it a staple in many culinary cultures. In the Latin American context, soft bread cubes are used to prepare typical dishes such as Caesar salads, casseroles, or traditional stuffings for meats and poultry.

Among their key properties, they are a quick source of carbohydrates and energy, in addition to providing a unique texture to dishes. When using soft bread, the cubes maintain a more tender consistency compared to croutons or toasted bread, making them ideal for preparations where a soft crumb is desired instead of a crunchy one.

In different Latin American countries, soft bread cubes may also be known as: soft picatostes, pieces of fresh bread, or simply bread cubes, terms that vary by region but refer to the same concept.
