Does this product contain added sugar or sweeteners, and how do the dried fruits affect the taste?

This product does not contain added sugars or artificial sweeteners. The sweetness and flavor profile come exclusively from the small amounts of dried apple and apricot pieces included in the mix. These dried fruits are not intended to turn the product into a sweet snack or dessert; rather, they serve to soften the taste and add a pleasant variety in texture compared to plain, unflavored bran.

Because the primary ingredients are wheat and rye grain husks, the base taste is earthy and neutral. The inclusion of dried fruit makes it more palatable for those who find plain bran too bland or gritty. However, if you are monitoring your intake of natural fruit sugars or have specific dietary restrictions regarding dried fruits, it is worth noting that these pieces are present in small amounts. The product is designed to be a fiber supplement rather than a confectionery item, so it should be viewed as a savory or neutral addition to your meals rather than a sweet treat.
