Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk is the thin outer seed coat of Plantago ovata, mechanically separated from the seed and graded by purity. Its high soluble-fibre content gives it strong swelling and water-binding capacity.
We supply four purity grades from 85% to 99%, allowing manufacturers to match fibre concentration, colour and cost to their formulation.
