By now, you may have heard that fiber is good for you, but did you know that fiber is an essential component of strong gut health? Prebiotics, the healthy gut bacteria found in our digestive system, uses fiber as fuel. This means that if you're not eating enough fiber, the good bacteria in your gut might not be able to survive, leaving more room for harmful bacteria to run rampant. These appetizing High Fiber Bran Muffins are a tasty way to incorporate more fiber into your diet without even noticing! The recipe can be found on our bags of Wheat Bran and is a high fiber treat that's low in calories and fat. What more could you want from a gut healthy breakfast food?

If you've noticed that your gut and grains don't get along, then skip them! Whole grains have many health benefits. However, for those with a sensitive digestive system, they can be hard to digest. Instead of using a grain-based flour to make your favorite pancakes, try using our Paleo Baking Flour instead. You can also try one of our organic pancake mixes if you want something thats quick and easy.
