Organic Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is the outer layer of the grain that is derived from the seed of the plant Plantago ovata. It contains about 50% of the chopped raw material. Psyllium husk is a rich source of soluble fiber, known for its effectiveness in promoting digestive health. When ingested, it forms a gel-like substance that helps regulate bowel movements and can relieve constipation. Additionally, psyllium husk is often used in gluten-free baking to improve the texture and structure of baked goods. It is also known for its potential to help lower cholesterol levels and aid in weight management. Psyllium is beneficial for heart health, as it helps maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Furthermore, it can be used as a natural thickener in soups and sauces, providing additional nutritional benefits.
