The outer layer of the wheat kernel. Freshly milled, never bitter, and packed with natural fibre.

What we sift off to make Better Bread Flour.

Our Organic Wheat Bran is a byproduct of lightly sifting our whole grain flour. When we mill our Better Bread Flour and All-Purpose Red Fife, the larger bran particles are sifted out and collected fresh. That is what goes into this bag. Milled from organic hard red spring wheat and Red Fife grown in Saskatchewan, in small batches, to preserve its naturally light texture and flavour.

Freshly milled bran tastes different from what you find in a grocery store. It is lighter, fluffier, and has a subtle nuttiness rather than the harsh, bitter taste of shelf-stable commercial bran. If you have ever found bran too strong or gritty, this will change your mind.

What makes it different

Most commercial bran has been sitting in a bag for months. Ours is milled fresh in small batches from certified organic Saskatchewan grain. No additives, no synthetic vitamins, no bleach. The natural fibre, B vitamins, magnesium, and iron that live in the bran layer are all intact because nothing has been done to this beyond milling and sifting.

No synthetic folic acid. No added iron. Tested and certified glyphosate residue-free.

Storage

Store in the fridge or freezer to preserve freshness. Fresh bran contains natural oils from the germ that can go rancid at room temperature over time. Learn how to store freshly milled flour and bran.

So, I haven’t tried this yet, but if it’s as wonderful as other Basic Bread products, we’re in for a real treat.
