Organic Psyllium Husk - 250g

Psyllium husks flakes promote easy, healthy elimination and sweep waste out of the colon more easily by supplying soluble fibre. Also available in the 1.25kg size.

Supply update: with rains and hail affecting this season's harvest it has created a global shortage in psyllium. We'd recommend stocking up at this price, as it's likely to increase even further over the next few months. 

What does psyllium husk do in baking? Psyllium husk is used to retain moisture and help breads from becoming too crumbly. It acts as a binder, and it gives gluten free bread dough the elasticity, flexibility and extensibility it needs so you can actually knead and shape it without any problems. Use to crumb veges, chicken or beef schnitzel. 

Ordering tips: the price is per 250g, so a quantity of 1 is 250gm, a quantity of 2 is 500gm.  Also available in 1.25kg sizes

Substitutes: if your recipe calls for psyllium husk powder and all you have is psyllium husks - then double (x 2) the amount of husks that you put in. 

Benefits and claims: It's an excellent source of fibre for your digestive system. It increases the bulk in your stool, an effect that helps to cause movement of the intestines. It also works by increasing the amount of water in the stool, making the stool softer and easier to pass. Psyllium, one type of bulk-forming laxative, has also been used along with a proper diet to treat high cholesterol.
