Psyllium Seeds

Psyllium is a soluble fiber derived from the seeds of Plantago ovata, an herb grown mainly in India. Psyllium husk is the main active ingredient in Metamucil, a fiber supplement that reduces constipation.Because of its excellent water solubility, psyllium can absorb water and become a thick, viscous compound that resists digestion in the small intestine.

Description

Psyllium seeds come from the plant species Plantago ovata, which is native to India and Pakistan. These tiny seeds are rich in soluble fiber and have been used for centuries as a natural remedy for various digestive issues. When mixed with water, psyllium seeds form a gel-like substance that can help soften stool and promote regular bowel movements. Due to their high fiber content, psyllium seeds are often used as a dietary supplement to support digestive health and relieve constipation. They are also used in certain food products, such as breakfast cereals and baked goods, to boost their fiber content. Additionally, psyllium seeds are sometimes used in gluten-free baking as a binding agent and to improve the texture of baked goods.
