What Makes Panko Bread Crumbs So Special?
There are a variety of reasons that chefs choose panko over regular Western bread crumbs. For example, they have: • Coarse grind: This creates pieces that are flaky rather than crumb-like. • Large Surface Area: The flakes have a larger surface area that more easily absorbs the seasoning of any given recipe. • Crispiness: The flakes of panko stay crispy longer and absorb less oil or grease.
