Breadcrumbs

Breadcrumbs & Panko Breadcrumbs:

Breadcrumbs in this collection cover everything from fine white and golden crumbs to light, crisp panko breadcrumbs and a plant-based gluten-free option. Pack sizes range from smaller pantry packs to 10kg bulk formats, with brands including Obento, Asian Essentials, Ottogi, Mrs Rogers, Smart Choice, Double Phoenix, Gilmours and Phoenix.

Panko Breadcrumbs:

Panko makes up a substantial part of the range. These Japanese-style breadcrumbs have a lighter, airier texture than conventional fine breadcrumbs and are well suited to creating crisp coatings. The collection includes Obento and Asian Essentials panko in 1kg packs, Ottogi panko in a smaller 200g format and Mrs Rogers panko in a 190g pack.

For larger-volume cooking, Double Phoenix panko is available in 10kg packs. Its light 8mm crumb is suitable for coating foods such as chicken, prawns, fish and pork. Panko can also be used as a crunchy topping for casseroles and other baked dishes.

Fine, Golden & Gluten-Free Breadcrumbs:

For recipes calling for a finer crumb, the range includes Smart Choice White Fine Breadcrumbs in a 10kg format. Golden breadcrumbs provide another traditional option, including Smart Choice 2kg and Gilmours 3kg packs. The Gilmours product is specifically described as a fine crumb.

The collection also includes Phoenix plant-based gluten-free breadcrumbs in a 2kg pack, providing a dedicated alternative when gluten-free breadcrumbs are required.

Choosing the Right Breadcrumbs:

Start with the texture your recipe needs. Choose panko breadcrumbs when you want a lighter, coarser crumb for crispy coatings on meat, seafood or vegetables. Fine breadcrumbs are better suited when a smaller, more uniform crumb is preferred, while golden breadcrumbs provide another option for coating and cooking.

Pack size is another important consideration. Smaller 190g and 200g panko packs suit occasional home cooking, 1kg and 2kg formats provide more capacity, and the 3kg and 10kg options cater to higher-volume kitchens. If dietary requirements are important, check the specific product carefully and choose the dedicated Phoenix gluten-free breadcrumbs where appropriate.
