                                Did you know that the tough, fibrous outer coating of a grain, known as the bran, is responsible for a significant portion of its nutritional value? This part of the grain, described as a tough but edible layer covering the endosperm, is packed with essential nutrients and fiber. It plays a crucial role in both the plant's biology and human health.
