Husky food? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bran

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

This clue might be a double definition.

'husky' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.

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

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bran that I've seen before include "Coarse meal for horses" , "Horse food stored in barn" , "Husks of corn" , "Refuse from grain" , "Type of edible fibre" .)
