Uses of millet bran

Millet bran contains a substance called rice bran protein, which is a very high-quality plant protein. The plant protein content in millet bran is twice as high as that in refined rice, and can be added as an additive to functional foods. At the same time, rice bran protein does not contain anti-nutritional factors and is a protein with very low allergenicity, so it can be used as a nutritious food for infants and young children.

Millet bran is a very scarce material. It is a little more expensive to use it to make pillows, but it is very good for your health. Millet bran can be used together with cassia seeds to fill the inner core of the pillow, because cassia seeds are too hard, and millet bran can neutralize its hardness. Millet bran is a pure natural material, and sleeping on such a pillow is very healthy.
