Gluten-free breadcrumbs are breadcrumbs made without any ingredients that contain gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. These breadcrumbs are specifically designed for individuals who have celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or those who choose to avoid gluten for other health reasons.
To create gluten-free breadcrumbs, manufacturers typically use alternative flours and grains that do not contain gluten. Common ingredients in gluten-free breadcrumbs include: Rice, Corn, Pea, Chickpeas etc.
Gluten-free breadcrumbs can be used in the same way as regular breadcrumbs, such as for coating foods before frying or baking, adding texture to casseroles, or serving as a binding agent in recipes like meatballs or veggie burgers. They come in various textures, from fine to coarse, and can be found in most supermarkets in the gluten-free or specialty food sections.
