Bran Buds are marketed as a healthy breakfast option that can aid in digestive health and help maintain regularity.

Composition[edit | edit source]

Bran Buds are made from a combination of wheat bran, sugar, corn syrup, and other ingredients that contribute to their nutritional profile. The cereal is designed to provide a significant portion of the daily recommended intake of dietary fiber. The high fiber content is beneficial for promoting gastrointestinal health and can be part of a balanced diet.

Nutritional Benefits[edit | edit source]
