What is panko and why is it so much better than other breadcrumbs?
The fir eats / Christine Ma
Although a unique name panko is simply a type of breadcrumb (the word panko is Japanese – "pan" means bread and "ko" means flour). Real panko is always made from a special type of white bread (as opposed to whole wheat) that is made without crusts and is baked using an electric current. The bread is ground into fine shreds or flakes that are then dried. It is used as a light breading in Japanese cuisine; panko is also called Japanese breadcrumbs.
A typical panko ingredient list includes wheat flour yeast oil and salt. Panko is not gluten-free but is almost always vegan.
