Obento Panko breadcrumbs are a Japanese-style breadcrumb mix (panko) – a light, airy and extra-crispy coating that makes fried dishes crispier and tastier than traditional breadcrumbs. It is popular in Asian and international cuisine for its ability to create a golden, crispy coating without absorbing too much oil.
🍽️ Taste and character
-
Texture: large, light and airy flakes that puff up beautifully when fried, creating a crispy surface.
-
Flavour: neutral and delicate – with a slight wheat flavour so as not to overpower the taste of the meat or vegetables you’re coating.
Panko differs significantly from standard European breadcrumbs – it is ‘lighter’ and less dense, so the food remains lighter and crispier.
🧾 Ingredients and allergens
Main ingredients: wheat flour, yeast, salt, palm oil, glucose and other additives such as malt flour and isolated soya protein.
⚠️ Allergens: contains gluten (wheat), as well as barley and soya proteins – not suitable for coeliacs or people with a gluten or soya allergy.
