Fine Bran with Licorice 200g

What this product is

Kompas Zdorovja "Tervise kompass" Peen kiudaine lagritsiga 200 g is a fine wheat bran blend with ground licorice. People usually choose this kind of fibre product when they want an easy way to increase fibre intake without changing meals too much: the fine texture mixes more smoothly into kefir, yogurt, juice or soup than coarse bran and is often easier to use in porridge, sauces or baking.

Key components

• Fine wheat bran — its main role is its high fibre content. Fibre absorbs water, adds bulk to food in the digestive tract and helps food move forward more evenly. Fine bran can also be more practical for people who do not enjoy rough flakes or large particles, as it blends into food with less noticeable texture while still providing the characteristic benefits of bran.
• Licorice root — it has a long history of use in traditional herbal practice, especially in blends for the throat and respiratory system. It contains plant compounds such as glycyrrhizin and flavonoids, which are valued for their soothing effect on mucous membranes. In a food product like this, licorice mainly adds a mild sweet-herbal note and gives the blend a more distinctive character than plain wheat fibre alone.

That makes this product suitable for people who want a bran product with a traditional botanical ingredient rather than a neutral taste. Because of its fibre, bran is often included in a balanced eating plan by those who want more regular digestion and a meal that feels more filling.

When people choose it

This fibre blend may suit those who:

• sit a lot;
• tend to eat too little plant food;
• simply want a practical way to enrich breakfast or light meals.

How to use it

It works best as part of a varied menu with enough fluids, since fibre needs water to do its job properly. If you are new to bran, it is sensible to start with a small amount and increase gradually.

Important notes

Because licorice is not ideal for everyone, the following people should check whether licorice-containing products are appropriate for them:

• those who are pregnant;
• those who are sensitive to this herb;
• those who need to watch blood pressure or fluid balance.
