Organic Psyllium Husk Fibre, 150 g, Dragon Superfoods

A concentrated source of natural fibre

Psyllium husk is the outer coating of the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, traditionally cultivated in India and other parts of South Asia.

Dragon Superfoods Organic Psyllium Husk Fibre contains one ingredient only: 100% organically grown psyllium husk.

With 86 g of fibre per 100 g, it offers a simple and concentrated way to increase daily fibre intake.

Highly absorbent and naturally gelling

Psyllium husk is highly hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs a significant amount of liquid.

When mixed with water, it expands and forms a soft, gel-like consistency. For this reason, it should always be consumed with plenty of liquid and mixed thoroughly before drinking.

Its natural thickening properties also make it useful in smoothies, breakfast recipes and baked preparations.

High in fibre

Dragon Superfoods Psyllium Husk contains 86% fibre and is high in fibre.

Adequate fibre intake is an important part of a varied and balanced diet and is associated with normal digestive and intestinal function.

Because psyllium increases in volume when hydrated, only a small serving is needed.

Soluble and insoluble fibre

Psyllium husk naturally provides both soluble and insoluble fibre.

When hydrated, part of the fibre forms a gel, while the remaining fibre adds volume. This distinctive combination is the reason psyllium is commonly included in routines focused on regular fibre intake and normal intestinal function.

A natural thickener for everyday recipes

Psyllium can also be used as a functional ingredient in cooking and baking.

Its ability to bind water and create structure makes it suitable for:

• Smoothies and shakes
• Porridge and breakfast cereals
• Yoghurt or plant-based alternatives
• Bread and baked recipes
• Pancakes and waffles
• Homemade crackers
• Plant-based baking mixtures
• Sauces and creams

Use only a small amount, as psyllium thickens quickly and continues absorbing liquid after it has been mixed.

How to use psyllium husk

Mix ½ teaspoon, approximately 2 g, with 350–500 ml of water.

Stir thoroughly until completely dispersed and no dry lumps remain. Consume with sufficient liquid.

Psyllium husk can also be added to breakfast cereal or smoothies. When adding it to food, make sure the preparation contains enough liquid to hydrate the fibre properly.

Important information

Do not consume psyllium husk dry.

Always mix it thoroughly with 350–500 ml of water and make sure no dry lumps remain, as insufficiently hydrated psyllium may be difficult to swallow.

Avoid inhaling the fine powder while measuring or mixing the product.
