You can use breadcrumbs to make perfect breaded or battered dishes, to knead dough, add texture, make fillings or thicken sauces. Breadcrumbs are an essential ingredient in our daily cooking. Do you know the different types of breadcrumbs that there are? And more importantly, do you know how to store them in your pantry so they don’t go bad? Read on to find out.
The trick to storing breadcrumbs
To store breadcrumbs (once the package has been opened) you must pour the contents into an airtight container. Ideally it will be a glass recipient, although you can also use a metal or plastic jar. Additional tip: add a couple of dried laurel leaves too. You’ll notice how it keeps for longer!
