bran

 
pronunciation:
braen
part of speech: noun
definition: Bran is the brown outer layer of a grain of wheat, rice, or other type of grain. Bran is healthy to eat.
If you buy "whole wheat" bread, the bread contains bran. In "white" bread, the bran from the wheat has been stripped away and not used in the flour. Bread with bran is not as soft as white bread.
