What’s the best plain bran cereal?

[aquariuscsm]

Like say, Raisin Bran without the raisins. Is Wheaties a plain bran cereal?

This ^^^. The healthiest cereal you can eat. Zero sugar, whole grain, high fiber. Only two ingredients: whole grain wheat, wheat bran. Single-syllable words, simple plain food.

Every now and again I'll buy a bran cereal, and this is my go-to. It's organic, has low sugar, and I like its simple, straight-ahead nature as it has no dried fruit and other add-ins. If I want my bran cereal dressed up, I'll do it by adding fresh fruit like blueberries, diced apple, peaches, or whatever is in season.

What is the flavor like of this cereal? I noticed most bran flakes cereals have quite a bit of added sugar, whereas this one does not.

We get "Kroger Bran Flakes Wheat Cereal" in a not too fancy brown box. Usually just one row so you have to kind of hunt for it.

I buy the Post “big biscuit” old style plain shredded wheat. Publix is the only store I have been able to find the big biscuit variety. My wife says it’s cattle feed.

Just bran. If you are not trying to lose weight oat bran may be better if you are looking for higher protein content. Otherwise, wheat bran is higher in insoluble fiber. I like to mix wheat germ with oat bran, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower or seeds or with pistachios. I tick like a Swiss watch!

For wheat bran it won’t get any simpler than this.

Funny but you are actually correct in terms of fiber content. Chitin is loaded with insoluble fiber. There's definitely a fair amount of chitin and other nutritious insect parts in ceral anyway. Nom nom nom!

I always loved raisin bran cereal, and my favorite part was just the plain brand once the raisins were gone. I had just never bought a plain bran cereal before.

Wasn’t it Bubble Yum that was said to have spider eggs in it back in the 70s? Old urban legend

Grain berry. No berries full of fiber. That or fiber one.

Much can be said of eating bran and plain bran I have eaten for years. Study up on Dubkin diet.
I eat oat bran now rolled oats and 3 eggs every morning.
Breakfast should focus number 1 on protein period.. I ear it with dietary fiber.
It will get you lean or keep you lean. No Sugar!!!

I'll throw 2 tbsp of the oat bran in my shredded wheat for good measure.

Yep. I don’t think this pure bran products were made to eat on their own. They are better when added to other stuff.

I mentioned this in another thread but my breakfast consists of one ounce of Bobs Red Mill tropical muesli mixed in a serving of yogurt. You could do the bran that way too. If you want more protein then add meat for a side.
