What it is

Oat bran is the outer layer of the oat groat, the kernel of the oat plant. It is separated from the starchy endosperm during the milling process. Oat bran is a good source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Why it's used

Oat bran is often added to foods to increase their fiber content. It can also add a nutty flavor and a chewy texture. It is commonly found in breakfast cereals, granola bars, muffins, and breads.

Health notes

Oat bran is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA. It is a source of soluble fiber, which may help lower cholesterol levels when part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol. The World Health Organization has not established a specific ADI for oat bran. Some studies suggest a link between high fiber intake and reduced risk of certain chronic diseases, but evidence is mixed.

Allergen info

Oat bran is not one of the FDA's 9 major allergens. Oats themselves do not contain gluten, but they can be contaminated with gluten during processing. Products labeled 'gluten-free oats' have been processed to remove gluten.
