Toasted bread triangles

Toast triangles are small pieces of bread, traditionally cut into a triangular shape, that have been toasted to achieve a crunchy and golden texture. This ingredient is ideal for accompanying soups, creams, salads, or as a base for appetizers and canapés.

The origin of toast triangles is linked to the European tradition of making use of leftover bread, giving it a texture that allows it to be preserved for longer and adding a crunchy touch to various preparations.

Regarding their properties, these triangles provide complex carbohydrates and some fiber, depending on the type of bread used. Furthermore, being toasted, they offer a crispy texture that enhances the sensory experience of dishes.

In different Latin American countries, toast triangles may also be known as tostaditos, croutons, picatostes, or tostadas de pan. All these terms refer to small pieces of toasted bread used as a complement in culinary recipes.
