PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a bread crumb which can be inhibited from absorbing oil and/or from which oil can be favorably removed, in cooking with oil.SOLUTION: A bread crumb includes a porous sponge structure of which a surface is covered with a fine uneven structure. The surface structure is a fine uneven structure of the order of 1 to 300 μm. A mixture of a material with tackiness and a material without tackiness is used as a starting material. The material with tackiness includes grain flour including gluten, and the material without tackiness is selected from starch, naked barley powder, bran, and bamboo powder. When the material without tackiness is starch, the starting material contains, as a main raw material, the material with tackiness, of which 8 to 50 wt.% is replaced with the starch on the assumption that the material with tackiness is 100 wt.%.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 44
