What it is
Organic red wheat bran is the outer layer of the red wheat kernel, separated during the milling process. It is a whole grain product, meaning it contains the bran, germ, and endosperm of the wheat. It is often used in its natural form or lightly processed.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add wheat bran to foods for its nutritional content, particularly fiber, and to add texture. It is commonly found in baked goods like breads, cereals, and muffins, as well as in some snack bars.
Health notes
Wheat bran is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is a good source of dietary fiber, which is important for digestive health. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated wheat bran and its components. While generally considered beneficial for digestion, consuming very large amounts of fiber quickly can cause bloating or discomfort.
Allergen info
Wheat bran is derived from wheat, which is one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It contains gluten.
