What You Should Know

You'd find this gluten-free plain bread crumbs package in the baking or gluten-free aisle, grabbed when you're coating chicken, topping casseroles, or making meatballs. It reads practical and comforting—an easy, nostalgic shortcut to crisp coatings without wheat. The mix of refined rice/potato/tapioca flours, added oil and a stabilizing gum points to industrial processing for uniform texture and shelf stability, a hallmark of more highly processed products.
