Advantages: Low in fat, high in fibre

Disadvantages: erm, none!

Jordans Natural Wheat Bran can be found in the supermarkets with the cereals. Its quite a light bag, as the contents are little brown flakes. Not quite sure how to describe the taste... maybe a bit like crushed bran flakes??? Any way I have a couple of spoonfuls of this mixed in with my porridge every morning, and not only does it liven up plain porridge but you're getting loads of fibre at the same time without really noticing it. Its a great way to be a bit healthier and it does your digestive system a favour too. Its about 30p for a 375g bag in my local supermarket, so it fits easily in the weekly budget. Per 100g of the product is gives you a whopping 42.8g of fibre, and is relatively low in fat at 5.5g per 100g. Saturated fat is only 0.9g per 100g. per tablespoon there is 14 calories, and I usually put two heaped teaspoons on my cereal, so its great for the dieters out there that want to get their recommended fibre intake. There is a recipe on the back for a sugarless fruit cake, and the packet gives you other ideas for using it such as in breads, biscuits etc.
The only ingredient is wheat bran so there are no nasties, there's no added salt or sugar, and its suitable for vegetarians too.

Summary: Give it a try, your digestive system will thank you for it :)
