Is oat bran gluten-free?
Technically, oats are gluten free and don’t naturally contain the gluten protein, unlike wheat, barley and rye.
Oat bran is high in antioxidants, including polyphenols that work to fight off harmful free radicals and prevent damage to our cells, thereby reducing the risk of chronic disease. It’s rich in fiber and protein, plus it contains important micronutrients, including phosphorus, selenium, thiamin and magnesium.
Oat bran also contains beta glucan, which is a type of soluble fiber that’s found in oats and barley. Beta glucans are used to improve a number of health conditions, including diabetes, high cholesterol, skin conditions and weak immune function.
One major reason why oat bran is healthy to eat is because of its beta glucan content. In fact, research published in the Journal of Nutrition and Metabolism found that beta glucan is associated with a reduced risk of metabolic syndrome because of the way it interacts with the gastrointestinal tract.
It’s easy to add bran to your diet by eating it alone as hot cereal or using it in healthy baked goods recipes. You can also add it to smoothies or yogurt bowls.
