Why it’s a Gluten Free Journey Favourite

Most gluten free breadcrumbs feel like sand, this feels like a restaurant meal. It’s the single easiest way to level up your gluten free cooking.

The Secret to the Perfect Gluten Free Crunch
If you have been on a gluten free journey for any length of time, you know that the “crunch factor” is often the hardest thing to replicate. Traditional breading often turns out gritty, sandy, or, worst of all, soggy. Enter Kikkoman Gluten Free Panko Bread Crumbs. This isn’t just a substitute; it’s a culinary upgrade that allows you to reclaim your favourite fried and baked dishes without compromise.

What Makes Panko Different?
Traditional bread crumbs are pulverized into small, dense grains. Panko, however, is a Japanese-style bread crumb known for its distinctively large, airy flakes. Because these flakes are larger and lighter, they don’t soak up as much oil or grease as standard crumbs do. The result is a coating that stays remarkably crisp and provides a satisfying “shatter” when you bite into it.

Kikkoman has expertly replicated this unique texture using a base of rice flour. Unlike many gluten free alternatives that use heavy cornmeal or bean flours, Kikkoman’s version mimics the “shard-like” structure of authentic panko, ensuring your food looks toasted and golden every time.

Clean Ingredients, Better Performance
One of the standout features of Kikkoman Gluten Free Panko is its simplicity. It is made with non-GMO ingredients and is free from artificial colours, flavors, and preservatives. By using rice flour and pea protein, Kikkoman has created a crumb that is not only gluten free but also surprisingly sturdy. It holds up under the high heat of an air fryer or a deep fryer without disintegrating.

Versatility in the Gluten Free Kitchen

While many people reach for panko specifically for breading chicken or fish, its uses in a gluten free kitchen are nearly endless:

The Perfect Binder: Use it in meatloaf, meatballs, or veggie burgers. Because it is lighter than traditional crumbs, it keeps the meat moist and tender rather than dense and heavy.

The Crunchy Topping: Elevate your gluten free mac and cheese or tuna casserole. Simply toss the crumbs with a little melted butter or olive oil and sprinkle them on top before baking for a professional, restaurant-style finish.

The Air Fryer Essential: If you own an air fryer, these crumbs are a must. They crisp up beautifully with just a light spray of oil, making “fried” zucchini fries or coconut shrimp a healthy weeknight reality.

Authentic Tonkatsu: Want to explore Japanese cuisine? Use these to make gluten free Tonkatsu (breaded pork cutlet) or Chicken Katsu. Pair it with a gluten free tamari-based sauce for an authentic experience.
