Intro: Wheat bran bread is a tasty, healthy alternative to typical white bread. When white flour is made, the fiber and nutrient contain bran are stripped from the whole wheat kernel. This substantially lowers the nutritional value of the bread. Wheat bran bread contains the nutrient packed bran, so it is considerably higher in fiber, protein, zinc, niacin, thiamine, and trace minerals than white bread. These nutrients are critical to good health.

The fiber in wheat bran bread is important in aiding the digestive system and reduces the risk of colon cancer. The USDA recommends that adults get at least 30 grams of fiber in their diet every day. The average American only gets about 15 grams of fiber daily. Protein helps build and maintain muscle mass. Zinc is involved in muscle repair, metabolism and immune function. B vitamins, niacin (B3) and thiamine (B1) are essential for cell growth, metabolism and nervous system function. So have a slice or two of wheat bran bread today and be on the way to a healthier life!
