About Bran rusks

Bran rusks are a type of baked food traditionally enjoyed as a snack or breakfast item, with roots in South African cuisine. Made by twice baking a dough containing whole wheat flour, bran, milk, sugar, eggs, and often a small amount of fat, they develop a crisp, dry texture that makes them perfect for dunking in tea or coffee. The inclusion of bran, a high-fiber component, is what sets bran rusks apart nutritionally, contributing to digestive health and promoting a feeling of fullness. They are typically sweetened, which can lead to added sugar content depending on the recipe. While they do offer fiber and are often fortified with essential nutrients, moderation is recommended as they may contain refined ingredients or higher levels of fats and sugars. Bran rusks are ideal for those seeking a fiber-rich treat, but they should be balanced with other wholesome foods in a healthy diet.
