Ingredient Wiki
Chicken Meal
Chicken that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water and fat removed.
Cracked Pearled Barley
Pearled barley broken into smaller pieces so it cooks and digests more quickly.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Brewers Rice
The small fragments of rice kernel separated out during milling, a by-product of producing whole white rice.
Whole Grain Wheat
Wheat with the bran, germ and endosperm all left intact, rather than the refined endosperm alone.
