💡 What's interesting

Panko, a Japanese variety, is uniquely made from crustless bread and has a lighter, flakier texture that absorbs less oil, making it extra crispy. Nutritionally, they transform simple ingredients into a more satisfying meal by adding texture and helping to lock in moisture during cooking.
