Black Panko Breadcrumbs
Black panko breadcrumbs are definitely not just here to be enjoyed during Halloween time. They are used widely in many homes as well as being used in all types of food service business locations! There are some really great ideas for black panko breadcrumb recipes! So how do we get these golden crunchy panko products into this new dark black colour with out getting rid of that amazing crunch everyone loves about panko? The use of natural pigments in the production process is the secret behind.
There are two natural sources of the black color. Squid ink powder is a good way to get black color for seafood dishes. The black color that it produces is pretty dark (black). It's a briny umami note too; think pasta and fried appetizers. Vegetable carbon black, or (E153), is created from burning plant material (e.g., bamboo, coconut shells) at a very high temperature. Burning the material at high temperatures creates a powder that is essentially flavorless. Because it does not affect anything else, it is a great choice for sweet products where a neutral flavor is desirable.
The most obvious 'application' of black panko is visual contrast. So, for example, a pretty bright green wasabi puree underneath a piece of fish in a black crust, or crispy slaw with some Calamari rings with black panko as a crust, really, really striking visual combinations. These all, basically, would look amazing on Instagram and Tik Tok, so basically they help generate free, organic social media buzz for restaurants. Menu innovation is really another key factor here too. So, as we have seen with the Black bun fried chicken sandwich, social media loves black buns! So, black panko just opens up a whole new avenue for chefs and restaurants to innovate! Think black panko shrimp tacos or shrimp ink croquettes.
Theme based events like halloween fits perfectly. For food manufacturers, black panko offers a simplified approach of creating appealing frozen food products in supermarkets, where they become more visible on the shelves.
If you're shipping black panko internationally, keep an eye on local regulations. Vegetable carbon black (E153) is widely approved across most of the world. The EU permits its use in specific food categories, while the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not yet approved E153 for direct food use.
