What exactly is spelt bran?
Spelt bran is a by-product of grain production. After sieving out the seed and fruit husks, the aleurone layer and the germ, extremely high-fiber components remain. These also contain many valuable minerals. It is therefore all the more surprising that the nutritional benefits of bran were first recognized by the wholefood movement.
What are the health benefits of eating bran?

Bran from conventional grain cultivation
Grain from conventional cultivation is contaminated with pesticides. As these residues are concentrated in the outer layers of the grain, it is important to consider whether eating the contaminated bran does more harm than good. As with conventional fruit or vegetables, it is probably advisable to remove the husk and use it for other purposes. The bran is then often used as animal feed in conventional livestock farming. In this way, the questionable substances end up in the consumer's stomach via the meat. To avoid this danger, it is definitely worth paying attention to the origin and cultivation method of the grain. After all, bran that makes a real contribution to our health can only be produced from grain that comes from organic or Demeter cultivation.

However, the most charming way to use it is in bread dough, which is then used to bake a wonderfully fragrant and wholesome loaf of bread. This is a wonderful way to combine daily bread enjoyment with a healthy diet.
But bran is also used in cosmetic care products. So if you want to do something for your own well-being and vital radiance both inside and out, you can also pamper yourself with a bran bath, bran peeling and bran mask.
