About Oat bran
Oat bran is the outer layer of the oat grain, separated during milling. It is typically sold as a coarse, beige-to-tan meal with a mild, slightly nutty cereal flavour. Its particles absorb liquid and soften during cooking, while retaining more texture than a finely milled flour.
It is used in porridge, baking, and as an addition to other cereal foods. Products may differ in grind and in how much of the bran has been retained, so the term does not necessarily describe a uniform particle size or preparation.
