panko bread crumbs?

What's panko bread crumbs? Is it available in our local grocery stores {Shop'N Save or Schnucks or Aldi} ?

Panko

Panko bread crumbs are Japanese-style bread crumbs. The texture is crispy but much more airy than typical breadcrumbs. Ask your grocer for help--sometimes they're found in the Asia aisle of your grocery store.
