I believe the answer is:

bran

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'food' is the definition.
(bran is a kind of food)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bran that I've seen before include "Pieces of grain husks" , "Food from the husks of cereal grains" , "Horse food stored in barn" , "DOG" , "Refuse from grain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
