Psyllium Seeds
Psyllium Seeds are the naturally dried seeds of Plantago ovata Forssk., mainly cultivated in India and used worldwide as the key raw material for psyllium husk and psyllium husk powder. Their mucilage-rich outer layer makes them the starting point for high-quality fiber ingredients used across nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, food, personal care, and animal nutrition applications.
Processed and graded to meet export and buyer-specific requirements, Indian psyllium seeds are known for their reliable quality, good shelf stability, and strong acceptance in global markets.
