About Wheat bran

Wheat bran is the outer layers separated from wheat kernels during milling. It is typically sold as coarse flakes or a finer meal, with a dry, fibrous texture and mild, grain-like flavour.

It is added to breads, cereals and other foods, or used as a baking ingredient. Particle size and the amount of remaining endosperm vary by milling, so bran from different products need not have identical composition.
