rice bran

Milled grain byproduct

Rice bran is the outer layer of the rice grain, removed during milling to produce white rice.

It contains most of the grain's fiber, vitamins, and oils.

Rice bran oil is extracted for cooking, valued for its high smoke point and mild flavor.

The bran itself appears in cereals, baked goods, and animal feed.
