Bran is what remains after the processing of cereals (especially oats) and, long ago, was a valuable food for horses and other animals and also served as an insulator in the walls.

Now times have changed and the medicine of well-being and nutrition has rediscovered this very useful and beneficial food.

Some of its features:

• lowers harmful cholesterol values
• reduces blood sugar index for diabetics
• protects gut, colon and rectum

The processing of the bran includes:

• grinding more or less fine
• sifting more or less fine

Some types of bran that have interesting characteristics for health:

• rice bran
• wheat bran
• sorghum bran
• Foxtail millet bran
• corn bran
• maize bran
• barley bran
• oat bran
