We love adding toppings on desserts. So why don’t adding toppings on other dishes? Esgir Croutons are the special touch we need.

Esgir Croutons are delicious and gluten free, unlike other croutons made with wheat flour, Esgir Croutons are made with chickpea flour, a protein source. They don’t contain colourings or preservatives, and they are toasted, so they aren’t high in fat as most of croutons which are fried, therefore Esgir Croutons are a very healthy choice. Moreover, Esgir croutons don’t contain milk or egg, so they are a suitable option for vegans.

We can choose 5 types of Croutons: Natural Crouton, Garlic and Parsley Crouton, Onion and Pepper Crouton, Cocktail Croutons with oil Sunflower and Cocktail Croutons with Extra Virgin Olive Oil. All of them are crunchy and delicious, we can combine their different flavours with a wide variety of dishes.
