Utilize Texture to Enhance Summer Dishes and Boost Profits.

by Kym / Tuesday, 29 July 2025 / Published in Blog

Crispy summer dishes

Even during the hottest days of summer, crispy foods remain a favorite. The texture of food plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall dining experience. Traditionally, fried foods tend to be heavy and oily, which can overpower lighter dishes like salads or pasta. We have an easy and tasty solution to transform these heavy, fried foods into lighter, crispy options that customers will love—simply by replacing one essential ingredient in your pantry.

It’s time to say goodbye to traditional breadcrumbs! Replace them with Upper Crust Enterprise Authentic Panko for a superior alternative. Authentic Panko can do everything that regular breadcrumbs can do, but even better. It allows you to create dishes with a lighter, crispier texture and a less greasy flavor than standard breadcrumbs. A perfect solution for creating crispy summer dishes for any menu.

Choose a Lighter and Crispier Breading

The ideal choice for any time of the year is Authentic Panko. Authentic Panko is the perfect alternative to standard breadcrumbs. It is made using only traditional ingredients: flour, cane sugar, yeast, and salt—without any additives, dough conditioners, or preservatives. Its simple and clean ingredients make it suitable for plant-based, vegan, and various menu items.

The popularity of Panko has significantly increased in recent years and is quickly becoming a favorite staple in Western cuisine due to its remarkable versatility and excellent performance. With its unique texture and appearance, authentic Panko is a versatile breadcrumb that delivers impressive results to any dish.

A change as simple as replacing your standard breadcrumbs with an Authentic Panko will improve the texture of crispy fried foods and have a noticeable impact on your menu!

Not All Panko is Authentic Japanese Panko

Authentic Panko | Standard Brank Panko

Choosing the right Panko brand is essential, as not all Panko brands are truly authentic. If you encounter Panko that is hard, round, or dense, it’s not authentic. Genuine Panko is always light and delicate, featuring slender or flaky crumbs. It enhances your menu items by providing a delicate, crispy texture without being oily, heavy, or overwhelming. Authentic Panko will accentuate your coated proteins with a light, crisp texture, avoiding any hard or crunchy qualities.

If you’re using Panko and need to determine if it’s authentic Japanese Panko, compare your current Panko to these characteristics.

Authentic Panko will have the following:

  • Large sliver shape crumb (flaky look) – Standard Panko will have round crumbs.
  • Light-airy texture – Authentic Panko will always be light and delicate. Standard Panko has a hard and dense texture.  Touch your current brand of Panko; if it feels hard or dense, it is not an Authentic Panko.
