There’s a reason breadcrumbs are a common topping for fish, especially when it’s baked. The breadcrumbs create a crispy crust on the fish, adding a much-needed crunch to its soft and flaky texture. However, there are several reasons why you may not want to add breadcrumbs to your healthy meal. That’s where Nuts Over Fish comes in. We’ve created a breadcrumb alternative so you can still have that lovely crust on your fish but made with a gluten-free nut topping.
Nutrition science has changed a lot in the last few years, and we’ve realized that we need to change our relationship with carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates—foods like bread—are linked to health problems like heart disease because our bodies break down simple carbs into simple sugars. Your body also digests simple carbs quickly, which spikes your blood sugar, making you feel hungry again sooner. While there’s nothing wrong with consuming simple carbs in moderation, you don’t want to include them in meals where you have a healthier (and more flavorful) alternative.
As much as we love bread, we have to admit it’s not the most flavorful food. When you top your fish with breadcrumbs, you usually add some herbs and spices to the mix for flavor. When you use one of our Nuts Over Fish toppings, you have a selection of flavorful options. If you like something with savory herbs, our pistachio or almond toppings will appeal to your tastes. Are you a fan of spicier dishes? Our cashew and pecan toppings are for you. But we can’t forget our macadamia nut topping, which is perfect if you’re looking to add some tropical flavor to your fish.
Why use nuts when there are plenty of other gluten-free breadcrumb options? Other than the delicious flavors you’ll find in our toppings, there’s also the benefit of extra protein. All nuts are excellent sources of protein as well as healthy fats and vitamins. Adding them to your fish gives your meal a protein and nutrient boost with hardly any extra effort!
