A great way to get more fibre into your diet.
Organic psyllium husks are pale yellow-white husk fibres extracted from the herb Plantago ovata. They have a mild nutty flavour that compliments most foods. Whole psyllium husks contain 90 grams of fibre in every 100 grams, making it an easy way to increase fibre rapidly.
Organic Psyllium Husks Usage: Up to 6g (roughly 1 teaspoon) twice per day. Must be consumed with plenty of liquid.
Benefits of psyllium husks
Looks after the gut
The high fibre content in psyllium husks is incredible for nurturing your bowel health. It bulks up stools by increasing the size and weight, binds waste together and creates slip in the intensities. All of these things help to pass stools more easily, reducing bloating, cramps, constipation, and diarrhoea.
Helps lower cholesterol
Cholesterol is a fatty substance that constructs cell membranes, produces hormones, and aids vitamin D synthesis. However, too much cholesterol can gather on cell walls, making them stiffen and harden, which inflames and narrows arteries.
The high amount of fibre in psyllium husks helps decrease the build-up of cholesterol, keeping it at a healthy level.
May regulate blood sugar levels
You need sugar for energy. However, when glucose levels rise, it can cause an energy crash, and you may feel lethargic, sluggish, and moody.
Certain foods create more dramatic spikes in sugar levels than others. For example, carbohydrates, fast food, chocolate, and sweets. The fibre in psyllium husks doesn’t cause a glucose spike, helping to balance blood sugar.
Easy ways to eat psyllium husks
- Bake psyllium husk muffins: Fancy a fibrous treat? Psyllium powder can be made into gluten-free, keto-friendly muffins. Alternatively, add psyllium husks to a muffin mixture to give the baked goods a fibrous crunch.
- Superboost your smoothies: Psyllium husks give smoothies texture and added fibre. Whether it’s a banana and blueberry or raspberry and oats smoothie, psyllium husks will level up the nutrition.
- Stir into your breakfast cereal: Sometimes, trying to get additional ingredients, like psyllium husks, into your diet is hard. One of the easiest ways is to add them to something you already eat, like a breakfast cereal. Pour your bowl of cereal like usual, then stir in a healthy helping of psyllium husks - simple!
- Sprinkle over oatmeal: The light, mildly nutty taste of oats blends wonderfully with psyllium husks. Make porridge oats and gently mix in some psyllium husks, or sprinkle the husks over the top of your oatmeal for crunch and fibre.
- Add to soups: Give your lunch some easy fibre by gently heating soup on the hob and stirring in a spoonful of psyllium husk powder.
