H2: What is Wheat Bran?

Wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat grain, separated during the milling process. It’s a naturally high-fibre ingredient that contains essential nutrients such as:

• Insoluble and soluble fibre
  
• B vitamins (especially niacin, thiamin, and B6)
  
• Iron and magnesium
  
• Antioxidants and phytochemicals
  

Wheat bran has a slightly nutty flavour and a fine texture that integrates well into both sweet and savoury baked goods and dishes.
