bran
Outer wheat layer
Bran is the outer layer of cereal grains—wheat, oats, rice—removed during milling to produce refined flour.
It's high in fiber and often added back to foods for nutritional value: bran muffins, oat bran cereal.
What was once discarded as animal feed is now marketed as a health food.
