From Mrs. Cubbison’s to O Organics, we taste tested bags and bags of cheesy, garlicky croutons to find the best — and the absolute worst. And one that should be saved for local vampires…
Croutons are easy to make at home, but if you’re looking for a speedy shortcut, some commercial versions make a great substitute. Scatter them on salad, float them in a bowl of soup or munch them straight from the bag as a savory snack. No matter which way you eat them, croutons deserve a spot in the pantry.
Before getting into details about these store-bought cubes, it’s important to note that making gourmet, crave-worthy croutons at home requires little more than bread, oil, cheese, seasonings and time. The trick is to use just the right amount of each ingredient — and to toast them to perfection. That said, packaged croutons are a fun, fast way to add flavor and crunch to any dish —for a mere 30 calories per serving.
Sad croutons are wicked salty or so over-seasoned that the flavor of powdered garlic and onion pollutes the palate for hours afterward. One detail to know about packaged croutons is that while the sodium numbers listed on the packages are surprisingly similar, there is actually huge variation in how salty the cubes taste.
