Psyllium Seeds
Psyllium Seeds are the natural seeds of Plantago ovata, primarily cultivated in India and valued globally as a key raw material for fiber-based products. Known for their high swelling capacity, purity, and consistency, Psyllium Seeds are widely used for further processing into Psyllium Husk and Psyllium Powder, as well as in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food, and feed applications.
