Description

What Is Wheat Bran?
A wheat kernel is made up of three parts: the bran, endosperm and germ.
The bran is the hard outer layer of the wheat kernel, which is jam-packed with various nutrients and fiber.
During the milling process, the bran is stripped away from the wheat kernel and becomes a byproduct.
Wheat bran has a sweet, nutty flavor. It can be used to add texture and a full-bodied taste to bread, muffins and other baked goods.
