About Psyllium fiber
Psyllium fiber, derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant native to India, is a natural source of soluble fiber widely recognized for its health benefits. It is commonly found in powdered form or as husks and is a staple ingredient in fiber supplements and gluten-free baking. Psyllium is predominantly used in Western and Indian cuisines, often added to smoothies, cereals, or bread to boost fiber content. Celebrated for supporting digestive health, psyllium helps promote regularity and can aid in managing cholesterol levels, stabilizing blood sugar, and fostering a feeling of fullness. Additionally, it is low in calories and naturally free from gluten, making it suitable for various dietary needs. While psyllium is generally well-tolerated, excessive consumption may lead to bloating or discomfort, so hydration is important. Ideal for those looking to incorporate more fiber into their diet, psyllium is a versatile and functional addition to everyday nutrition.
