What is it?
Oat Bran is the fiber-rich outer layer of the oat grain. It has a fine, slightly coarse texture and a mild, nutty oat flavour.
Oat bran is naturally rich in dietary fiber, including beta-glucan, and also provides plant-based protein and other naturally occurring nutrients. It can be easily added to everyday meals to increase their oat and fiber content.
Perfect for porridge, smoothies, yogurt, overnight oats, pancakes, muffins, bread, and baking.
Ingredients
1. Cleaning – Whole oats are cleaned to remove dust, stones, and other impurities.
2. Dehulling – The tough, inedible outer hull is removed, leaving the oat groat.
3. Heat Treatment – The groats are usually steamed or heat-treated to stabilize the natural oils and improve shelf life.
4. Milling – The oat groats are ground or milled into smaller particles.
5. Sifting & Separation – Milling fractions are separated, concentrating the bran-rich outer portions of the groat.
6. Packing – The finished oat bran is packed and sealed to maintain freshness.
