Whether or not people know that bran -the outer layer of the wheat, oat, or rice kernel -is rich in fiber and other nutrients, they know that it is healthy.

 

But all bran bars are not as healthy as Kellogg's All-Bran Bars. Each has about 130 calories, 5 grams of fiber, only half a gram of sat fat, and no refined grains. They are not low in sugar, but at least the sugar comes with a good chunk of your daily fiber requirement.

 

In contrast, Post Raisin Bran Cereal Bars have less fiber (3 grams) and some refind wheat flakes mixed in with their whole grains. Even so, they are head and shoulders above Kellogg's Raisin Bran Crunch Bars.

 

Like Raisin Bran Crunch cereal, the Crunch Bars have more white rice than any whole grain, leaving each bar with only one gram of fiber. That is pretty pathetic for a food with "Bran" in its name.
