Lotus Barley Bran Fine 500g

Lotus Barley Bran Fine 500g is fine barley bran, separated from the bran layer of cleaned, dehulled barley to form small flakes. The 500g pack is a product of Australia for muffins, cakes, stews and cereals. It is a bran ingredient rather than barley flour or whole barley, which makes the format important when comparing recipes.

Choose barley bran when a recipe asks for bran or when you want small bran flakes in the mixture. It is different from wheat germ and oatmeal even though those products can also be used in breakfast and baking. The ingredient is barley and contains gluten, so it is not a gluten-free cereal substitute.

Include in muffins or cakes, or use in stews and cereals. Measure the amount required by a suitable bran recipe so the other ingredients suit the mix. Its small-flake format lets it be incorporated into food without having to cook whole barley kernels first. Muffins, cakes, stews and cereal provide several ways to use the small bran flakes without expecting them to behave like a bag of finely milled barley flour. The ingredient’s bran layer and barley source are the useful distinctions when choosing a recipe. The 500g amount can be measured across more than one type of dish. The gluten-containing cereal identity should remain clear, including when the other flour or ingredients in the meal are chosen for a different diet.

Bran, germ, flour and wholegrain flakes describe different parts or forms of cereal ingredients. Match the specific form to the recipe so the mixture has the texture it expects. A bran recipe can use that ingredient alongside other flours or grains, rather than asking it to do the entire job of flour. Keep the cereal identity clear when sharing baked food, because bran from a gluten-containing grain remains different from a gluten-free ingredient.

Packed in a facility that also processes peanuts, tree nuts, cereals containing wheat and gluten, milk, soy, sesame seeds and lupin. Contains gluten.
