About Bran flour
Bran flour is a milled ingredient made from the outer layers of cereal grains; the exact grain is not specified by this name. It is encountered in baking and other grain-based foods, either as an ingredient or as a component of a flour blend.
Its texture is generally powdery or finely granular, and its colour and flavour depend on the grain and milling. The term does not establish whether it is pure bran or a blend, so those details should be checked on the product label.
