Frontier Co-op Organic Psyllium Husk (Plantago ovata) is a low-growing herb that is originally from India. It has been used for centuries as a natural fiber laxative to aid digestion and relieve constipation. Now, psyllium husk has become a common ingredient in creams, soups, and many baked goods because it helps bind different textures together. A tablespoon of this herb can be a powerful secret in your recipes.
Psyllium husk is often referred to as a “glue” because it helps ingredients stick together. It's a gluten-free thickener that helps your dishes hold shape without altering their flavor. Our psyllium husk is organic, kosher, and non-irradiated.
Best uses: Water, fruit juices, baked goods, soups, stews, food-forming (shaping), and "bulk-forming" when used to cleanse the digestive system.
