Quick answer: Beyond animal feed, wheat bran is a useful organic input for soil and growing. It adds organic matter and feeds soil microbes, speeds up composting as a nitrogen-rich “green”, is a common supplement in mushroom substrates such as sawdust bags, and is the classic base for bokashi fermentation. Use it in moderation and mix it in to avoid mould and pests on the surface.
