How to Store Homemade Bread Crumbs (7 Steps)
Homemade bread crumbs taste fresher than store-bought--but only if you store them correctly. Just as with bread, when you do not keep your bread crumbs properly, they dry out and become stale or moldy in a damp environment. When you keep your homemade bread crumbs in the right manner, they will be readily available anytime you need a coating for frying or as a crunchy topping for a casserole.
