Psyllium husks are among the best-known natural sources of dietary fibre and are obtained from the seeds of certain species of plantain. The use of Plantago ovata, a plant from the plantain family grown mainly in India and other dry regions of Asia, is particularly widespread. Despite their German name, Flohsamen ("flea seeds"), psyllium seeds have nothing to do with fleas. The name refers to the appearance of the small, oval seeds, which resemble the tiny insects in shape and size. Psyllium seeds and their husks have been valued in traditional herbal lore for centuries.

A special feature of psyllium husks is their exceptionally high swelling capacity. The outer seed husks contain large amounts of soluble fibre, in particular so-called mucilage. This consists mainly of complex carbohydrates, including arabinoxylans. When the husks come into contact with water, they can absorb many times their own weight in liquid and form a gel-like mass. This property sets psyllium husks apart from many other plant sources of fibre and makes them particularly interesting for the diet.

In the digestive tract, dietary fibre performs various tasks. Unlike starch or ordinary table sugar, it is not broken down, or only partly broken down, by human digestive enzymes. The swelling fibres of psyllium husks bind water and thus increase the volume of the intestinal contents. At the same time, a soft, gel-like consistency is created. This is why psyllium husks are particularly valued in connection with normal digestion and bowel regularity. Sufficient fluid intake is crucial, so that the husks can develop their natural swelling capacity.

The use of psyllium husks in cooking is also interesting. Because of their pronounced water-binding capacity, they are often used as a plant-based binding agent. In gluten-free baking in particular, they can help to hold doughs together and give them a smoother consistency. They are also a popular ingredient in low-carb recipes, for example for bread, rolls or pancakes. As psyllium husks consist mainly of dietary fibre, their composition differs considerably from classic cereal flours.

Fairvital Psyllium Husk Powder consists of 100 % ground psyllium husks and contains no other ingredients. Thanks to its fine powder form, it can easily be stirred into water or other liquids and used in many ways in cooking. The recommended daily serving is 6 g, divided into three measuring spoons of 2 g each. With the 400 g pack, Fairvital offers a practical way of specifically supplementing the daily diet with plant fibre.
