Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel, removed during the milling process of refining wheat into flour. It is a rich source of dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Wheat bran has a coarse texture and a slightly nutty flavor.
Due to its high fiber content, wheat bran is often used to promote digestive health and regularity. It can be added to various foods, such as cereals, baked goods, smoothies, and yogurt, to increase their fiber content. Wheat bran can also be used as a thickening agent in recipes or as a topping for salads and soups. It provides bulk to foods, which can help promote a feeling of fullness and aid in weight management.
