Feeling like some extra-healthy and delicious porridge? With less carbs and calories, and more protein than regular oats, and just as tasty in flavour, oat bran has become a very popular food over the last few years. But what's so special about it, exactly? Oat bran is made by grinding oat's thin skin — the husk, which covers the inner endosperm, the fruit skin, and the germ — into a fine, nutritious powder. But what can you do with oat bran?
Oat bran is super easy to use
The most common and popular dish containing oat bran is breakfast porridge. Cooking your oat bran with some hot water, you will obtain a wonderfully creamy porridge which you can top with fresh fruit, nuts, and any delicious extra you want! But that’s not all: oat bran also performs very well as baking ingredient in your bread, buns, cookies, cakes, and muffins, and provides an extra portion of fibre (13 g/100 g). You can even attempt making some scrumptious pancakes! Oat bran also has many uses outside the kitchen, for example in masks or exfoliants. But back to our field: why is oat bran so popular?
Oat bran – the inner values count
We have to admit, oat bran doesn't sound very sexy, and perhaps it doesn't have star appeal in terms of appearance – BUT it's the inner values that count and our oat bran definitely convinces with these: with 13 g of dietary fibre per 100 g, oat bran has a high dietary fibre content. Sports fans and biceps lovers will be pleased, because oat bran is also a source of protein (16 g/100 g) and protein contributes to the maintenance bones. It's also a fact that protein contributes to muscle mass growth. When we hear this, we have no hesitation in adding oat bran to our beloved morning porridge, make it extra creamy with plant-based drinks and a spoonful of our favourite nut butter.
Buy organic oat bran with germ
Still not entirely convinced? Go ahead: our oat bran contains the valuable outer layers of the whole grain and comes from organic farming. In addition, our oat bran has a slightly nutty taste! To make sure you always have your protein source on hand, you get 2 kg of oat fun straight away. What are you waiting for?
