Amber Wheat Bran

Our Amber Bran is created during the sifting process of whole hard white wheat flour. When we transform our 100% extraction stone-milled flour into 75% extraction sifted flour using a precise 150 micron sieve, the larger bran particles, wheat germ fragments, and outer endosperm pieces are carefully collected to create this nutrient-dense ingredient.
 
Technical Specifications:
 
Source: HD-3086 (Pusa Gautami) Hard White Wheat
Extraction Rate: 25% of original grain
Particle Size: >150 microns (coarser texture)
Composition: Large bran pieces, germ fragments, outer endosperm
Fiber Content: Exceptionally high insoluble fiber
Mineral Density: Concentrated vitamins and minerals
 
Nutritional Profile:
 
This amber-colored bran contains the highest concentration of nutrients from the wheat kernel, including B vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin, niacin), essential minerals (iron, magnesium, zinc), dietary fiber, and beneficial phytochemicals. The coarser texture provides excellent bulk and texture enhancement.
 
Perfect For:
 
Fiber Enhancement: Adding to chapatis and breads for increased nutrition
Texture Addition: Creating rustic, hearty baked goods
Health-Focused Baking: Boosting nutritional density of recipes
Breakfast Applications: Mixing into porridges and cereals
Specialty Breads: Multi-grain and seeded bread formulations
 
Incorporation Methods:
 
Roasting: Dry roast before adding for nutty flavor enhancement
Soaking: Pre-hydrate for smoother integration into doughs
Scalding: Pour hot water over bran to soften before mixing
Direct Addition: Use 5-15% replacement in bread recipes
 
Why Choose This Bran:
 
Unlike commercial wheat bran that may come from unknown sources, our Amber Bran is traceable to specific hard white wheat varieties and retains the complete spectrum of nutrients through careful processing. The 150 micron sieving ensures optimal particle size for both nutritional benefits and baking functionality.
 
Professional Tip: 
 
Start with 10% addition to existing recipes and adjust hydration accordingly. The coarse texture adds excellent mouthfeel to artisan breads while significantly boosting fiber content and nutritional value.
