Psyllium seeds, derived from the Plantago ovata plant, are tiny, oval-shaped seeds native to regions of India and the Mediterranean. Renowned for their high fiber content, they are a key ingredient in natural digestive health remedies. Psyllium is particularly rich in soluble fiber, known for supporting healthy digestion, regulating bowel movements, and promoting gut health. It can also help manage cholesterol levels and contribute to heart health. These seeds are neutral in flavor and commonly used in Western and Indian cuisines, often as a thickening agent in recipes or incorporated into baked goods for added fiber. While psyllium is highly nutritious, excessive consumption may cause bloating or minor digestive discomfort due to its high fiber concentration. For optimal benefits, it’s important to hydrate adequately when consuming psyllium, as it absorbs water to expand and aid digestion.
