Psyllium Husk Powder – Bulk Fiber for Baking & More

Sold by the ounce. Kosher • Non-Irradiated

Psyllium husk powder (Plantago ovata) is a finely ground, fiber-rich ingredient made from the outer husks of psyllium seeds. Psyllium is especially known for its ability to absorb liquid and form a thick, gel-like texture.

Our Psyllium Husk Powder is sourced from India, kosher certified, non-irradiated, and sold by the ounce so you can purchase exactly the amount you need.

It's a versatile pantry ingredient commonly used in baking, gluten-free recipes, herbal preparations, and fiber supplements.

What Is Psyllium Husk Powder?

Psyllium comes from Plantago ovata, a low-growing herb native to parts of Southwest and South Asia.

The husks contain high levels of soluble fiber and mucilage. When psyllium comes into contact with water, it absorbs the liquid and expands, creating its characteristic gel-like consistency.

What Is Psyllium Husk Powder Used For?

Psyllium husk powder is commonly used for:

• Baking
• Gluten-free baking
• Breads and baked goods
• Adding fiber to foods
• Herbal preparations
• Encapsulating
• Recipes that benefit from its water-binding properties

Why Is Psyllium Used in Gluten-Free Baking?

Psyllium's ability to absorb water and create structure makes it especially useful in some gluten-free breads and baked goods.

When hydrated, it can help bind ingredients and contribute structure and texture to recipes that don't contain traditional wheat gluten.

Because different recipes require different amounts, follow a recipe specifically developed for psyllium for the best results.

Psyllium Husk vs. Psyllium Husk Powder

You'll find psyllium sold as both whole husks and powder.

Psyllium husk powder is finely ground, so it incorporates easily into recipes and absorbs liquid quickly.

If a recipe specifically calls for whole psyllium husks, don't assume powder can be substituted in the same quantity. Follow the recipe's instructions.

Why Buy Psyllium Husk Powder by the Ounce?

Psyllium is often used in relatively small amounts, especially for baking.

Buying bulk psyllium husk powder by the ounce lets you purchase exactly what your recipe requires instead of committing to a large package.

It's another simple way to reduce unnecessary food and packaging waste.
