Bran is present in and may be milled from any cereal grain, including rice, wheat, maize, oats, and millet.

Bran is particularly rich in dietary fiber, and omegas and contains significant quantitities of starch, protein, vitamins, and dietary minerals. Dietary fibers are the indigestible portion of plant foods that move food through the Digestive system, absorbing water and easing Defecation. Essential fatty acids, or EFAs are Fatty acids that cannot be constructed within an organism from other components (generally all references are to humans by any known chemical Starch, CAS # 9005-25-8 Chemical formula (C6H10O5n is a Polysaccharide Proteins are large Organic compounds made of Amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by Peptide bonds between the Carboxyl A vitamin is an Organic compound required as a Nutrient in tiny amounts by an Organism. Dietary minerals are the Chemical elements required by living Organisms other than the four elements Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, and

Bran is often used to enrich breads (notably muffins) and breakfast cereals, especially for the benefit of those wishing to increase their intake of dietary fiber. Bread is a Staple food prepared by Baking a Dough of Flour and Water. A muffin is somewhat like a small Cake, and though it does resemble a Cupcake in that they both have cylindrical bases and rounded conical tops they usually A breakfast cereal (often simply called cereal is a packaged food product made from Cereal intended to be consumed as part of a Breakfast. Bran may also be used for pickling (nukazuke), as in the tsukemono of Japan. Pickling, also known as brining or corning, is the process of preserving Food by Anaerobic fermentation in Brine (a solution are a type of Japanese pickle, made by fermenting vegetables in rice Bran (nuka Tsukemono (漬物 ("pickled things" are Japanese pickles.

Rice bran finds particularly many uses in Japan, where it is known as nuka (糠; ぬか). Besides using it for pickling, Japanese people also add it to the water when boiling bamboo shoots, and use it for dish washing.

Rice bran is a by-product of the rice milling process, and it contains various antioxidants that impart beneficial effects on human health. It is well known that a major rice bran fraction contains 12%-13% oil and highly unsaponifiable components (4. 3%). This fraction contains tocotrienol, gamma-oryzanol, and beta-sitosterol; all these constituents may contribute to the lowering of the plasma levels of the various parameters of the lipid profile. Rice bran also contains a high level of dietary fibers (beta-glucan, pectin, and gum). In addition, it also contains 4-hydroxy-3-methoxycinnamic acid (ferulic acid), which may also be a component of the structure of non-lignified cell walls.

The high oil content of bran makes it subject to rancidification, one of the reasons that is often separated from the grain before storage or further processing. Rancidification is the decomposition of Fats Oils and other Lipids by Hydrolysis or Oxidation, or both The bran itself can be heat-treated to increase its longevity.

Bran oil may be also extracted for use by itself for industrial purposes (such as in the paint industry), or as a cooking oil, such as rice bran oil. Cooking oil is purified Fat of Plant or Animal origin which is liquid at room temperature Rice bran oil is the oil extracted from the Germ and inner husk of Rice.

In Romania, the fermented wheat bran is usually used when preparing sour soups, called borscht.
