Corn Breadcrumbs
Looking for gluten-free breadcrumbs that give schnitzels, vegetables and cheese a crisp crust? PROBIO corn breadcrumbs are a straightforward kitchen choice: pure organic corn with a pinch of salt for balanced flavour.
They’re suitable for classic coating, but also wherever you need to lightly thicken a mixture or add structure to dough. If you’re cooking in a household where gluten is monitored, you’ll appreciate their practical use and consistent results from batch to batch.

For you, this means confidence in choosing a brand that supports local organic farming and can clearly demonstrate how its products are made and controlled.
PROBIO – Corn breadcrumbs – for coating and baking, a crisp crust
Organic corn breadcrumbs are a simple kitchen staple made from corn for everyday coating. A good choice when you want clear ingredients and reliable results without unnecessary extras.
Use them for coating – schnitzel, fried cheese, vegetables and homemade croquettes. They also work well for baking when you want a golden, crisp top layer.
Corn is a naturally gluten-free grain, so corn breadcrumbs are a popular option in kitchens where gluten is being monitored. In practice, it means you can keep your usual coating method and simply swap the ingredient.
The breadcrumb texture helps the coating adhere well and hold during cooking. For the crispiest finish, pat the ingredient dry before coating and let it rest briefly after coating.
Another advantage is versatility: besides coating, you can use it as a binder in rissoles and vegetable mixtures where you want a firmer shape. A practical option when you want one breadcrumb for savoury everyday recipes.
Suitable for
Pravé Bio recommends what to add
- Real Salt® - Finely ground sea salt in a shaker – quick seasoning; fine texture for an even flavour.
- Greek apple cider vinegar – for marinades for meat or tofu before coating; helps lift flavour and balance the sweeter notes of corn.
- Avocado mayonnaise - as a ready-made dip for breaded vegetables and cheeses; or in sandwiches and salads for a creamy texture.
- Barbecue sauce – a quick sauce for breaded dishes and as a glaze; the smoky flavour profile pairs nicely with a crisp crust.
Did you know?
- With corn breadcrumbs, grind size matters: a finer crumb gives a more even coating; a coarser crumb gives a more pronounced crunch.
- For a coating that sheds fewer crumbs, it helps to sieve the breadcrumbs briefly and use the fine fraction as the first layer.
- For baking, corn breadcrumbs colour faster than wheat breadcrumbs – add them near the end, or mix with a little fat.

Key benefits of PROBIO Organic corn breadcrumbs
- A simple breadcrumb for coating – quick to use for schnitzel, fried cheese and vegetables.
- A crisp crust for frying and baking – helps create a golden finish and stays on the ingredient during cooking.
- Gluten-free – a practical choice for kitchens where gluten is being monitored, without changing your usual coating method.
- Mild corn flavour – lets the ingredient inside shine and pairs well with spices and herbs.
- Also works well for baking – for a crisp top layer (e.g. baked vegetables or gratins).
- Better control over seasoning – thanks to a simple flavour profile, it’s easy to tailor the coating to your recipe (e.g. paprika, garlic, herbs).
- Organic quality for the cupboard – a basic pantry ingredient from organic farming for regular cooking.
If you coat in multiple steps, corn breadcrumbs also combine well with flour: for the first, light layer we recommend finely milled wholegrain spelt flour, which helps create an even base for the next coating step. Then simply add egg or a plant-based alternative and finish with breadcrumbs as your recipe suggests.
How is corn different from other grains?
Corn is naturally gluten-free, which is why it’s often used in kitchens where gluten is being monitored. With corn breadcrumbs, that means you can keep your usual coating method – you’re simply working with a different grain.
In practice, the key difference is texture and how it behaves on the surface: corn breadcrumbs give a more pronounced crispness and brown more quickly. That’s helpful for frying and baking when you want a clearly defined crust.
Flavour-wise, corn is gently grain-like and mostly neutral. It lets the ingredient inside stand out and takes on spices and herbs well, so you can easily tailor the coating to your recipe.
Types of flour we offer
- Plain wheat flour – versatile for delicate doughs, cakes and thickening; smooth texture and reliable rise.
- Wholemeal rye flour (finely ground) – ideal for sourdough and yeasted bread; rustic flavour and a higher fibre content.
- Coconut flour (Ceylon Kokonati) – naturally gluten-free; high in fibre, suitable for desserts and gluten-free baking.
- Green banana flour – naturally gluten-free; neutral flavour, great for baking, thickening and porridge.

FAQ
How do I get a really crisp crust with “corn breadcrumbs”?

Can I use “corn breadcrumbs” for oven baking?
Yes. For nice browning, lightly brush or spray the coated surface with a little fat and bake as your recipe suggests. For baking, it can be practical to add breadcrumbs to the top near the end if you want tighter control over colour.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.
PROBIO thus brings traditional values into modern cuisine and inspires a return to a natural way of eating.
Organic farming and sustainability
The company PROBIO is a pioneer of organic farming in the Czech Republic and builds its commitment to sustainability on solid foundations. All of the company's activities are aimed at protecting nature, soil, water and the health of the planet.
He farms on his own organic farm in Hostěrádky, where crops are grown with respect to the natural balance of ecosystems. PROBIO also supports family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic, from which it takes quality raw materials for the production of its organic food.
The company's certifications confirm its high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. All products carry the organic label and meet strict requirements for organic farming and sustainable production.
In addition, the products from the gluten-free mill are marked with the crossed-out log symbol, which guarantees safety for people with gluten intolerance. The company regularly checks the quality of its products in its own laboratory and ensures that customers receive the best - healthy, clean and environmentally friendly.
PROBIO is thus a symbol of ecological responsibility, which is reflected in every step of their production.
PROBIO - quality organic food
Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
Support of local farmers
PROBIO actively supports local farmers by purchasing raw materials from family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic. The company works with farmers who grow crops in accordance with the principles of organic farming, which means they avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
This support not only helps the development of sustainable agriculture, but also strengthens the local economy. PROBIO in this way ensures the high quality of its products and at the same time supports Czech farmers who participate in the cultivation of organic food.
This collaboration contributes to the development of organic farms and landscape protection, which is in line with the brand's philosophy of long-term sustainability and nature conservation.
