What does this fibre contain, and how is it different from ordinary bran? — Siberian wheat fiber with cedar nut 280g

The product is based on wheat grain husks (bran) — a source of coarse insoluble fibre that is not digested and passes through the intestines, adding bulk to their contents. This is the standard function of any bran.

What sets this mix apart is its additional ingredients. Flaxseed flour contributes soluble fibre: on contact with liquid it forms a mucilaginous mass, which makes the texture softer than that of pure bran. This combination of insoluble and soluble fibre is less common than single-ingredient products.

The flavour comes from bilberries, cranberries, apple and rosehip — they improve the taste and add plant substances valued in a varied diet. Burdock root is a traditional plant ingredient that has long been used in food mixes. Cedar nut kernels round off the composition and make the product more interesting to eat.

In short: whereas ordinary bran is a single ingredient with a single texture, this mix combines cereal fibre, flaxseed flour, berries and nuts. For those who find it hard to eat dry bran by the spoonful, this format is easier to fit into a familiar diet — add it to yoghurt, kefir or porridge.
