Wheat Bran

Wheat bran is a byproduct of the milling process that removes the outer layer of wheat grains to produce flour. It's a concentrated source of dietary fiber and nutrients, including magnesium, iron, zinc, and B vitamins. Just a quarter cup provides about 14% of the recommended daily intake of fiber. Due to its high fiber content, wheat bran can help regulate digestion, lower cholesterol, and prevent constipation. It also has a low glycemic index, meaning it won't cause a rapid spike in blood sugar levels. Wheat bran is commonly used as an ingredient in baked goods, but can also be added to cereal, smoothies, or yogurt for an extra nutritional boost.
