What it is
Oat bran is the outer layer of the oat groat, which is the hulled kernel of the oat grain. It is separated from the oat flour during the milling process. This part of the oat is particularly rich in fiber and nutrients.
Why it's used
Manufacturers add oat bran to foods primarily for its dietary fiber content and nutritional benefits. It is often used in baked goods like breads, muffins, and cereals, as well as in snack bars, to boost fiber and improve texture.
Health notes
Oat bran is considered a whole food ingredient and is generally recognized as safe for consumption. It is well-known for its high soluble fiber content, particularly beta-glucan, which has been associated with maintaining healthy cholesterol levels. The FDA has recognized the health benefits of oat beta-glucan in reducing the risk of heart disease. JECFA and EFSA typically evaluate food additives, not whole food ingredients like oat bran; therefore, they have not set an acceptable daily intake for it.
Allergen info
Oats are not one of the nine major food allergens identified by the FDA. While oats are naturally gluten-free, they can sometimes be cross-contaminated with wheat, barley, or rye during processing, so certified gluten-free oats are available for those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity.
