• Synonym米糠こめぬかNeutralRefers only to bran from rice; 「糠」 can also cover the bran of grains generally and is used in set words like 「糠漬け」.
• RelatedふすまNeutralWheat bran: the husk stripped from wheat during milling, so the source grain is wheat, not rice.

For bran in general, 「糠」/「ぬか」 is the default. Use 「米糠」 to stress that it comes from rice, and 「ふすま」 when the bran is from wheat.
