Ispaghula from Bowatte is psyllium husk: the thin outer coat of the seeds of Plantago ovata. It comes as light, pale flakes that soak up water and swell into a soft gel within a few minutes.
How it is used
- Stirred into a glass of water or juice and drunk straight away, before it thickens.
- Used in gluten-free baking to bind doughs and batters.
- See the label for how much to take.
In the pack
100g of ispaghula husk.
Storage
Keep in an airtight container in a dry place, as the husk takes up moisture from the air.
Read the label before use, and ask a doctor or an Ayurvedic physician first if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or under medical care.
