Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs 40 oz/2.5 LBS (6/Case): professional grade for Canadian food service

These panko crumbs give you the light, airy crunch you'd expect from regular panko, without the gluten. The flavour is mild and slightly toasted, so they sit behind whatever dessert you're building rather than fighting it. Pastry chefs use them for coatings or as a binder where wheat isn't an option.

Stocked by ChickenPieces.com at our Calgary distribution hub. Delivered Canada-wide, all 10 provinces and 3 territories, in 2-5 business days.

Chef's tip: For a deeper golden colour and extra crunch in baked applications, toast a portion of these gluten-free panko crumbs in butter or oil before folding them into your streusel. Lifts the texture noticeably.

Operator's Tip · Giselle, Canadian Products Specialist

"I've watched bakery customers pivot to these gluten-free panko crumbs for their dessert bars without much fuss. One Calgary patisserie I visit regularly cut down on waste by switching to the 40 oz format. Hotel pastry kitchens tend to order multiple cases at a time to keep up with their gluten-sensitive menu items."

Gluten-free pastry isn't a niche ask anymore. Most kitchens need it on hand, and these crumbs handle the textural side of dessert work (crunchy streusel on apple crisps, a thin crust on sweet pastries) without the cross-contamination worry, as long as your kitchen protocols are tight. Browse our pastry range for options that pair with it.

Quality & specifications

Light, airy, consistently crisp. The flavour is neutral with a light toast, which keeps it out of the way of whatever you're making. Built from rice flour and pea protein, the crumb holds its structure well. Packaged in 40 oz (2.5 LBS) bags, 6 per case.

Pastry & baking applications

Good for gluten-free pie crusts, fruit crisps and crumbles, or as a breading on fried desserts like churro bites. Also works as a binder in sweet patties or a toasted topping on parfaits and other plated work.

Storage & handling

Keep them in a cool, dry spot and reseal the bag tightly after opening. Moisture is the enemy. Let it in and you'll lose the crunch. Shelf life is long when the bag stays closed.

Frequently asked questions

Is there such a thing as gluten free panko bread crumbs?

Yes, there absolutely is. This product, Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs 40 oz/2.5 LBS (6/Case), is specifically formulated to provide that light, crispy texture of traditional panko without any gluten. It allows pastry chefs and bakers to offer gluten-sensitive options for everything from dessert toppings to specialized coatings. Products like the Kikkoman Panko Japanese Style Toasted Bread Crumbs [CP-WEB-13705000] are made with wheat, so a dedicated gluten-free option is essential for your kitchen.

Are panko crumbs gluten-free?

No, traditional panko crumbs are typically made from wheat flour and therefore contain gluten. However, products like our Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs 40 oz/2.5 LBS (6/Case) are specifically developed using alternative flours, such as rice flour, to provide a gluten-free option. This allows professional kitchens to cater to dietary restrictions while still achieving that desired crisp texture in their dishes. Always check the label to confirm.

Does panko bread crumbs have gluten?

Yes, standard panko bread crumbs, such as the Kikkoman Untoasted Panko Bread Crumbs [A2Z--2342605], are made from wheat flour and thus contain gluten. Our Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs 40 oz/2.5 LBS (6/Case) are specifically formulated to be gluten-free, providing a safe alternative for those with sensitivities. Always ensure you are selecting the correct product to meet your dietary requirements for your patisserie or hotel kitchen.

Is there gluten in panko bread crumbs?

Yes, traditional panko bread crumbs contain gluten, as they are typically made from wheat. This is why it's crucial for professional pastry kitchens catering to dietary needs to source explicitly labeled gluten-free options, such as our Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs 40 oz/2.5 LBS (6/Case). This ensures you can provide crisp coatings and toppings without compromising on dietary requirements. Always confirm ingredients on the product label.

How long does panko bread crumbs last?

These Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs, like most dry pantry staples, have a good shelf life when stored properly. You'll typically find a 'best before' date on the packaging, which is usually quite extended for dry goods. Once opened, storing the 40 oz bag in an airtight container in a cool, dry place helps maintain its freshness and prevents moisture absorption, which could lead to spoilage or loss of crispness. Always check the packaging for specific date guidance.

How to use Panko Bread Crumbs / in a commercial kitchen?

In a commercial pastry kitchen, these Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs are incredibly versatile. Use them for creating crisp, gluten-free toppings for fruit crisps, crumbles, and baked apples. They also work wonderfully as a light coating for 'fried' dessert elements, like a gluten-free cheesecake bite or a sweet arancini. Their neutral flavor profile makes them ideal for blending into streusels or using as a binder in sweet fillings without altering the primary taste, providing a consistent 40 oz bulk supply.

How to store Panko Bread Crumbs / for maximum shelf life?

To maximize the shelf life of these Gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs, store them in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight and humidity. After opening a 40 oz bag, transfer any unused portions into an airtight container or reseal the original bag completely. This practice prevents moisture absorption and exposure to air, which are the main culprits for staling and loss of crispness, ensuring they remain ready for your next batch of gluten-free desserts and maintain quality for your commercial kitchen.

What is the optimal baking temperature range for achieving crispness with these gluten-free panko bread crumbs in dessert applications?

For optimal crispness, use these gluten-free panko bread crumbs in baked desserts at temperatures between 350-375°F (175-190°C). This range allows them to toast evenly and develop a golden-brown color without burning too quickly. You'll find they provide an excellent textural contrast to softer fruit fillings or creamy dessert components. Adjust your oven time based on the specific recipe and the desired level of browning for these 40 oz crumbs.

When substituting traditional panko with these gluten-free bread crumbs, is there a recommended ratio for recipes?

When swapping out traditional panko for these gluten-free bread crumbs, you can generally use a 1:1 ratio by volume in most recipes. These crumbs have a similar light, airy structure to regular panko, so they absorb liquids in a comparable way, minimizing the need for major adjustments. However, always test a small batch first, especially for delicate applications, to confirm the desired crispness and consistency in your patisserie or bakery.

What considerations should I keep in mind regarding working time when using these gluten-free panko bread crumbs for commercial production?

For commercial production, these gluten-Free Panko Bread Crumbs offer excellent working stability, as they don't degrade or clump easily once exposed to air. You can mix them into streusel toppings or use them for coating components hours in advance of baking or frying without significant loss of texture. Just ensure any coated items are kept dry and cool until ready for their final preparation step to maintain their crisp potential and bulk 40 oz quality.
