Ingredient Wiki
Lamb Meal
Lamb that has been cooked, dried and ground into a concentrated meal, with most of the water removed.
Brown Rice
Rice with only the inedible outer hull removed, so the bran and germ stay on the grain.
Whole Grain Wheat
Wheat with the bran, germ and endosperm all left intact, rather than the refined endosperm alone.
Brewers Rice
The small fragments of rice kernel separated out during milling, a by-product of producing whole white rice.
Corn Gluten Meal
The protein-rich fraction left after corn is processed to remove its starch, germ and bran.
