Organic Psyllium Husk Fiber - 250 g
What is Psyllium?
Psyllium (psyllium seed) consists of the seed coats of plant seeds. Psyllium consists of more than 80% fiber, of which 70% is soluble fiber and 30% is insoluble fiber. Psyllium forms a gel when it comes into contact with water and can absorb up to ten times its own dry weight in water. An advantage of psyllium over other soluble fibers is that psyllium is fermented to a lesser extent by the intestinal flora and is therefore less likely to cause complaints such as bloating and flatulence.
Psyllium supports natural bowel movements* and contributes to a feeling of fullness*.
The importance of fiber
Fibers are very important for the intestines: they ensure voluminous intestinal contents and therefore a better feeling of satiety, better intestinal peristalsis and better stools. The average fiber consumption in the Netherlands is 20 grams per day, while ideally this should be at least 50 grams.
Psyllium as a binding agent in gluten-free bread
Psyllium can be used as a binder in gluten-free bread due to its highly absorbent properties. This property replaces the effect that gluten normally has.
When using Psyllium, ensure sufficient fluid intake.
