Wheat bran, unprocessed

Outer layers of the wheat grain which are removed during the early stages of milling, and do not undergo further processing other than packaging. Maybe coarsely or finely milled.

Most proximates and some vitamins and minerals were derived from a composite sample of 3 brands of wheat bran (1x Sanitarium, 1x Purina, and 2x Greens) purchased in Adelaide in 1985 (Cereals and Cereal Products, 1987). Cu, Mn, P, Cl, Se, S, F, ATOC, B6, pantothenate and biotin were derived from a composite sample of 3 brands of wheat bran (3x Savings, 3x Sanitarium and 3x Naytura) purchased in Adelaide (Cereal Catch-Up Program, 1993). Folate borrowed from the UK 4th edition (3S), record 11-5. Profile is supported by current industry data (Sanitarium, 2008). Note low sum of proximates - data should be used with caution.
