About Bran

Bran is the outer layer of cereal grains like wheat, oats, and rice, removed during the milling process. Rich in dietary fiber, essential vitamins, and minerals, bran contributes to digestive health, promoting regularity and aiding in satiety. It contains B vitamins, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants, supporting overall wellness. Bran is commonly used in baking, cereals, and smoothies, adding a wholesome texture and nutty flavor. While traditionally associated with Western diets, it's utilized in cuisines globally for its nutritional benefits. However, bran can be high in phytates, which may reduce mineral absorption, and excessive consumption might upset sensitive digestive systems. Still, its low calorie content and heart-healthy attributes make it a popular choice for balanced eating. Incorporating bran into meals in moderation can provide a significant boost to overall health and help maintain an active lifestyle.
