Origins of Psyllium Husk Psyllium is a seed which is extracted from Plantago ovata, a plant that belongs to the Plantaginaceae family. The Psyllium Husk is a fibre found in the seed of the plant. The plant itself is native to Asia, the Mediterranean and North Africa, requiring large amounts of sunlight and well-drained, moist soil. The Plantago ovata is a shrub-like perennial plant with narrow green leaves and spikes of small flowers which grow into seedpods where the Psyllium Husk is extracted. Psyllium husk is high in both soluble and insoluble dietary fibre which helps to bulk up the gut contents. The Husk may also be used in gluten-free bread to make the end product less crumbly.
