What is corn?
corn bran is a food product made of hard outer layer of corn. Like BRANS derived from other cereal crops, corn bran has a very high fiber content and can be used in a wide range of ways. Many commercial food manufacturers use corn bran as a fill in their foods and to reduce the caloric refreshment value. It can also be used in home cooking to increase the fiber content of different foods and to add texture.
The grains have three parts: bran, endosperm and germs. Otzat is a hard outer shell that protects the grain from elements. Inside the bran is endosperm, most grain, with bacteria rich in nutrients at one end of the grain. If the grain can develop in the seedlings, the bran eventually opened to appear roots and leaves of the child plant. Endosperm has a soft, mild taste, but it tends to be decreased in fibers and nutrients than the grain as a whole. When the germ is included, the nutritional value increases and when the bran is included to createShe crouched wholemeal flour, the fiber content also rises.
corn bran can be processed and sold separately or simply left on corn because it is ground into flour. Many corn products, such as semolina, include bran and embryo for extra nutritional value, and some finer corn flour products can also be made with intact branch. When wholemeal corn flour is used in the recipe, it tends to be coarser than white corn flour, with a more complex texture and flavor.
When an ordinary corn otruba is added to the recipe, the fiber content significantly increases. Corn bran can be used in matters such as cereals, fries, snacks, etc. Because corn bran is largely non -construction, it has a minimum impact on the number of calories, so that food designed for dieteers is often made from corn bran to make calories low and food filling.
