"Gap" is rice husks...serious roughage...NOT recommended for consumption. But the look on the millers face when you told him you wanted fiber in your diet would be priceless...:)

Spread some rice bran on a cookie sheet and roast it for 15 minute in an oven at 375, or roast it in a wok until it begins to brown. It will add a nutty flavor to your porridge. Ram is actually the germ and the bran of rice, so besides having fiber, it's also high in protein. Wheat bran has more fiber than rice bran, and Psyllium husk even more fiber, and is tasteless, so it's an additive to a lot of "high-fiber" foods.

Forgot to mention, rice bran (like any other unprocessed bran) has oil in it, so once you've roasted it, store it in a jar in the fridge, where it should keep for a month or so.

Okay, I've found some yellowish looking 'wheat germ' is it as good as bran?

I was really hoping to find something brown!

Great news about the Oryzanol capsules that I've been taking. Within 2 weeks I'm starting to lose those ol' laughter lines that have been nagging me for the last few years or so!

:D
