Definitions
- Referring to the byproduct of milling grains such as wheat, corn, or oats. - Describing the mixture of various parts of the grain that are separated during the milling process. - Talking about the coarse and powdery substance that is often used as animal feed or fertilizer.
- Referring to the outer layer of a grain kernel that is removed during the milling process. - Describing the fibrous and nutrient-rich part of the grain that is often used in baking or cooking. - Talking about the high-fiber food ingredient that can be added to cereals, bread, or muffins.
List of Similarities
- 1Both are byproducts of the milling process.
- 2Both come from grains such as wheat, corn, or oats.
- 3Both can be used as animal feed or fertilizer.
- 4Both contain fiber and nutrients.
- 5Both are coarse and powdery in texture.
What is the difference?
- 1Composition: Millfeed is a mixture of various parts of the grain, while bran specifically refers to the outer layer of the grain kernel.
- 2Nutrition: Bran is higher in fiber and nutrients than millfeed.
- 3Usage: Bran is commonly used in baking and cooking, while millfeed is primarily used as animal feed or fertilizer.
- 4Texture: Bran is coarser and more fibrous than millfeed.
- 5Availability: Millfeed is more widely available and less expensive than bran.
Remember this!
Millfeed and bran are both byproducts of the milling process of grains such as wheat, corn, or oats. However, millfeed is a mixture of various parts of the grain, while bran specifically refers to the outer layer of the grain kernel. Bran is higher in fiber and nutrients than millfeed, and is commonly used in baking and cooking. On the other hand, millfeed is primarily used as animal feed or fertilizer due to its wider availability and lower cost.
