About Corn bran
Corn bran is the outer fibrous covering separated from corn kernels during milling. It is sold as a dry, coarse or finely milled ingredient, with colour and particle size depending on the corn and processing. It is distinct from whole cornmeal and from isolated corn fibre products.
It can be incorporated into baked goods, cereals, and other foods to add bulk and a grain-like flavour. Its texture may remain noticeable unless finely ground. Products differ in how much of the kernel’s outer layers they retain and in their degree of milling.
