Breadcrumbs, retail

Retail breadcrumbs are dried bread broken into small particles, used for coating foods or adding to dishes. The figures describe shop-bought breadcrumbs sampled across different brands. They mainly provide carbohydrate, with some protein and a small amount of fat. Per 100g, they contain 79g of carbohydrate, 10g of protein, 2.1g of fat and 1g of salt.

Carbohydrate provides energy, while protein is needed for the growth and repair of body tissues. The salt content is worth noting for people monitoring their salt intake, particularly when breadcrumbs are combined with other ingredients containing salt. The nutritional content of the finished dish will also depend on its other ingredients and preparation method. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.

About these figures

Values are per 100g of the food as described (10 samples, 10 different brands). "Trace" means only a very small amount was found. Nutrients that were not measured are not shown. Salt is calculated from sodium.

These figures come from an older part of the dataset that is no longer updated. Original source: Cereals and Cereal Products Supplement, 1988.
