About Psyllium husk
Psyllium husk is a fiber-rich powder derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata, a plant native to India. Commonly used in traditional Indian cuisine as a natural dietary aid, it has gained global recognition for its exceptional health benefits. Composed mostly of soluble fiber, psyllium is renowned for promoting digestive health, supporting regular bowel movements, and aiding in cholesterol management by binding to dietary fats. Its ability to absorb water makes it ideal for recipes requiring thickening or binding, such as gluten-free baking. Psyllium husk is low in calories, free of gluten, and minimally processed, making it a versatile addition to diverse diets, including vegetarian, vegan, and keto. However, excessive consumption may lead to bloating or discomfort, so moderation and sufficient hydration are key. Psyllium husk is a potent, natural remedy for supporting overall gut health and achieving dietary fiber goals.
