About Panko bread crumbs

Panko bread crumbs are coarse, dry crumbs made from bread and used as a coating or topping. They are especially used where a light, crisp crumb texture is wanted after cooking. Panko is a particular style of bread crumb rather than a name for all dried crumbs.

The crumbs are usually pale, irregular flakes with a dry, airy texture and mild bread flavour. They are sold plain or seasoned and may be fine or coarse. Added salt, seasonings, or other ingredients distinguish seasoned products from plain panko and can affect how they are used.
