Oat bran is the nutrient-rich outer layer of the oat groat, separated during oat milling. It's a powerhouse of soluble fiber, giving it a slightly sweet and nutty flavor with a pleasantly chewy texture when cooked. Its fine, pale beige flakes add a boost of nutrition to various recipes. Adding oat bran to your diet can contribute to improved digestive health and may assist in lowering cholesterol levels.

Oat bran should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent it from going rancid. It can be kept at room temperature for several months. For longer storage, especially in warmer climates, refrigerate or freeze it in a freezer-safe bag or container. Check for any changes in smell or appearance before using.
