Botanical Name: Plantago ovata
Plant Part Used: Husk
Processing Method: Drying, Grinding
Organic Psyllium Husk Powder 99% is derived from the husks of Plantago ovata, a member of the Plantaginaceae family. The husks are carefully cleaned, dried, and ground to achieve a fine powder with a 99% purity level. Known for its exceptional water-absorbing capacity, psyllium husk powder forms a gel-like consistency when hydrated, making it an excellent source of soluble dietary fiber. This property supports digestive health, aids in maintaining regularity, and contributes to a healthy gut microbiome. It is commonly used in food, beverage, and nutritional formulations for its functional and nutritional benefits.

Psyllium, known scientifically as Plantago ovata, is native to India and cultivated mainly in the western and southern regions, with presence in countries like Bangladesh, Pakistan, and Iran. Its cultivation follows a stringent process to ensure final product quality and purity.
Production starts with harvesting small, brown seeds, which are sun-dried and cleaned to eliminate impurities. Dehusking removes the seed's outer layer, yielding a white, fibrous husk. This husk undergoes drying and grinding to produce psyllium powder.
Extraction methods vary, with mechanical grinding and sieving being common for husk separation from seeds. Water-based extraction, involving seed treatment and husk separation, is another method. Mechanical processes are favored for efficiency and nutrient preservation, resulting in higher-quality products.
