LEIMER BACKERBSEN

Leimer Backerbsen – the gold standard for German “soup pearls” (also called Erbsen or Backerbsen, meaning “baked peas”) – are produced by Leimer KG, a Bavarian company based in Traunstein with a long tradition in breadcrumbs and soup garnishes since the early 20th century. These tiny, golden-fried dough crisps are a beloved Suppeneinlage (soup insert) in German and Austrian cuisine, adding unbeatable crunch to soups without overpowering the flavor. They’re a staple for cozy home-cooked meals, especially in Swabian-Alemannic regions.
