Bran is the outer coat of a grain kernel. It is the tough, outer layer of a cereal grain such as wheat, rice, or oats. Bran is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, and it provides numerous health benefits. When grains are processed to make refined flour, the bran is often removed, which decreases the nutritional value of the grain.
In summary:
1. Bran is the outer coat of a grain kernel.
