How to Store Oat Bran (3 Steps)
Oat bran, which is the exterior of the oat grain, is separated from the rest of the grain when it is refined, or processed. The bran contains fiber and protein. It also contains fat, which can turn rancid with exposure to air or light. A dark, cool place is the best site for oat bran storage, and the darkest, coolest place in your kitchen is the freezer. The oat bran will remain fresh there.
