About
Oat Bran
|
|
Each raw oat grain is made up of two parts: the inedible
outer hull (the husk) and the oat kernel (groat). Within
the groat are to be found the oat germ, the starch cell
and the outer layer. Oat bran is derived from the outer
layer of the oat groat (hulled oat kernel). See figure
in inset. It takes approximately 5 Kg. of raw oats to
produce 1 Kg. of Aims Oat Bran. Oat bran is an
excellent source of soluble fibre.
