What it is

Garlic croutons are small pieces of toasted or fried bread flavored with garlic. They are typically made by cubing bread, tossing it with oil and garlic (fresh or powdered), and then baking or frying until crisp.

Why it's used

Garlic croutons are added to foods for their crunchy texture and savory garlic flavor. They are most commonly found in salad kits, soups, and as a topping for various dishes.

Health notes

Garlic croutons are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. They are not typically associated with significant health concerns when consumed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Organizations like the WHO and EFSA have evaluated garlic and its components, generally finding them safe, but specific evaluations of garlic croutons as a processed food product are not common.

Allergen info
