Psyllium Husk & Powder – Al-Syedi Group
Psyllium Husk Powder is derived from the seeds of the Plantago Ovata plant, commonly known as Isabgol in India. The Psyllium plant grows best in regions with plenty of sunlight and sandy, well-drained soil — primarily cultivated in Gujarat, with smaller plantations in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh.
Psyllium husk is a natural mucilage rich in xylose, aucubin, galacturonic acid, arabinose, and semi-drying fatty oils, making it an exceptional source of soluble dietary fiber. The husk is extracted from the dried ripe seeds of Plantago Ovata and is meticulously cleaned, sorted, and graded under strict quality standards before being processed into fine Psyllium Husk Powder.
