Why we included PROBIO in the PraveBio.cz range
PROBIO is a Czech producer of organic foods with experience since 1992 and based in Staré Město pod Sněžníkem. We included them in our selection because they combine a wide range of products with real quality control: they operate 3 mills, packing facilities, and warehouses, check raw materials in their own laboratory, and base part of their raw materials on their own organic farm in Velké Hostěrádky; moreover, they have long-standing ties with Czech family eco-farms to turn crops from local fields into usable ingredients for everyday cooking.
We also rely on clearly traceable standards: PROBIO has IFS Food and IFS Broker, EU organic production certification (control organization KEZ) and Demeter certification for selected processes/products. For gluten-free milling products, they also hold the regional designation Jeseníky original product – for you, this means the assurance that you are choosing a brand that supports local organic agriculture and can also demonstrate how it produces and controls its products.
PROBIO Wheat Bran with High Fibre and Protein Content BIO (400 g)
Wheat bran with high fibre and protein content is an organic raw material obtained during the processing of the outer layers of the wheat grain. Due to its high fibre and plant protein content, it is suitable for supplementing these components in a regular diet.
Wheat bran can help with feelings of heaviness and support regular digestion. The wheat fibre contained contributes to speeding up intestinal transit and helps increase stool volume, facilitating regular bowel movements.
For the fibre to work properly, it is necessary to always drink a sufficient amount of fluids (water, herbal tea, or pure juice) with the bran. This allows the fibre to swell in the body and function correctly.
The bran has the texture of coarsely ground semolina and a natural grain flavour. It combines well with fermented dairy products, plant-based milk and yoghurt alternatives, and is also suitable for morning cereal mixes.
With 40.4 g of fibre and 16.8 g of protein per 100 g, the bran is a substantial source of these nutrients. The BIO certification confirms its origin from organic farming. Contains gluten.
The bran in loose form can be directly mixed into yoghurt, curd, grain porridge, or a morning smoothie. The amount can be adjusted according to the desired fibre content in the diet.
When baking, it is suitable for doughs for homemade bread and pastries, where it increases the whole grain content. It can also be used as an ingredient in vegetable patties or for thickening soups. It is a single-ingredient raw material without additives.
Suitable for
PraveBio recommends with wheat bran
- Dried Coconut Milk – for yoghurt, porridge, and smoothies; gives them a creamier texture, softens the taste of wheat bran, and adds a fuller tone.
- True Ceylon Cinnamon – ground – a pinch in a breakfast bowl or dough enhances the delicate grain tones of wheat and the taste of bran with regular use.
- Roasted Cocoa Beans (nibs) – suitable as a crunchy topping for porridge, yoghurt, or homemade granola; adds a more intense flavour and texture without additional ingredients.
- Greek Forest Honey – for gentle natural sweetening of bran in porridge, yoghurt, or when baking; suitable where refined sugar is not to be used.
Did you know?
- Wheat bran is a source of minerals and B vitamins, which are significantly present, among other things, in the aleurone layer just beneath the grain's outer shell.
- Due to its high content of insoluble fibre, it supplements the diet with a component that naturally passes through the digestive tract.
- When baking, bran binds moisture, ensuring that homemade bread and other pastries remain moist longer and harden more slowly.

Why do wheat bran have higher nutritional value than flour?
The main difference lies in the higher content of fibre, minerals, and other components found in the outer parts of the grain. While regular white flour is mainly made from the inner part of the grain rich in starch, bran comes from its outer layers, including the aleurone layer. These parts of the grain have a higher content of fibre, minerals, and B vitamins. Compared to white wheat flour, bran can contain up to 15× more fibre and significantly higher levels of minerals such as magnesium, iron, and zinc.
Due to its high content of insoluble fibre, bran increases its share in the diet, while regular white flour contains less of these components. Adding bran to the dough can increase the fibre content in homemade pastries with a lower glycaemic index, which can contribute to greater satiety of the resulting pastries.

Who is behind PROBIO
The company PROBIO was founded in the 90s by Ing. Martin Hutař and Ing. Karel Matěj, who decided to focus on the production of organic food. The small company has grown into the largest organic food producer in the Czech Republic with more than 120 employees, three organic mills and its own organic farm.
They focus on traditional crops such as spelt and buckwheat and bring them to modern customers in the form of quality organic food, including gluten-free products produced in a certified mill.
The vision of PROBIO is to promote organic farming and protect the planet for future generations. They are bringing traditional crops back into the menu and linking production with education, for example through excursions and annual Biosavings.
Their combination of ecology, quality and tradition makes them a pioneer of organic food in the Czech Republic.
The exceptionality of traditional crops
Since its establishment, the company PROBIO has focused on the processing of traditional crops that were a common part of Czech agriculture in the past. These crops include, for example, spelt, buckwheat, single or double grain.
These ingredients not only enrich the diet, but thanks to their rich nutritional composition they are real "superfoods".
PROBIO brings these forgotten treasures back into our lives and at the same time supports organic farming, which is kind to nature and preserves healthy soil and water for future generations.
Inspiration for customers
PROBIO brings its customers not only a wide range of organic food, but also new options to enrich their daily diet.
Through original mixes such as barley fritters or buckwheat gingerbread, they introduce customers to lesser-known but nutritious foods. These mixtures are prepared to make it easy and quick to prepare tasty dishes.
PROBIO thus becomes an inspiration for everyone who wants to discover new tastes and at the same time support a healthier and more sustainable way of eating.
From spelt to Czech superfoods
Spelled was one of the first crops that PROBIO returned to the Czech fields, and to this day it is a symbol of their efforts to restore traditional agricultural values.
The experience of our ancestors inspired society to further develop and discover crops that were once a common part of the diet - buckwheat, single or double grain.
These crops, now called 'superfoods', are rich in nutrients and bring not only a variety of flavours but also significant health benefits.
Under the brand PROBIO you will find a whole range of these products, either in the form of basic ingredients or easily prepared mixtures. Each product is associated with a love for the land and respect for nature, which gives Czech superfoods a uniqueness you won't find elsewhere.
PROBIO thus brings traditional values into modern cuisine and inspires a return to a natural way of eating.

He farms on his own organic farm in Hostěrádky, where crops are grown with respect to the natural balance of ecosystems. PROBIO also supports family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic, from which it takes quality raw materials for the production of its organic food.
The company's certifications confirm its high standards of quality and environmental responsibility. All products carry the organic label and meet strict requirements for organic farming and sustainable production.
In addition, the products from the gluten-free mill are marked with the crossed-out log symbol, which guarantees safety for people with gluten intolerance. The company regularly checks the quality of its products in its own laboratory and ensures that customers receive the best - healthy, clean and environmentally friendly.
PROBIO is thus a symbol of ecological responsibility, which is reflected in every step of their production.
PROBIO - quality organic food
Return of the spelt to the Czech fields
In the 1990s, PROBIO revived the cultivation of spelled, which was almost forgotten at the time.
Thanks to close collaboration with gene banks and our own research, we have been able to reintroduce this cereal and demonstrate its unique properties.
Today, spelt, along with products such as flour and pasta, is the mainstay of their offer.
Support of local farmers
PROBIO actively supports local farmers by purchasing raw materials from family eco-farms throughout the Czech Republic. The company works with farmers who grow crops in accordance with the principles of organic farming, which means they avoid the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
This support not only helps the development of sustainable agriculture, but also strengthens the local economy. PROBIO in this way ensures the high quality of its products and at the same time supports Czech farmers who participate in the cultivation of organic food.
This collaboration contributes to the development of organic farms and landscape protection, which is in line with the brand's philosophy of long-term sustainability and nature conservation.
