Psyllium, derived from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, is primarily grown in countries like India and Pakistan. Cultivated in regions with well-drained soil and warm temperatures, the plants are harvested once the seed pods are fully matured.
After harvesting, the seeds are cleaned, processed, and packaged for distribution worldwide. Psyllium is renowned for its health benefits, particularly its high soluble fiber content, which aids in digestion, regulates bowel movements, and supports heart health. Studies have shown its effectiveness in managing conditions like constipation, diarrhea, and high cholesterol.
At Origin Bakery, we harness the power of psyllium in our gluten-free baking recipes to enhance texture and promote digestive health. Psyllium is the key ingredient to the incredible texture of our popular European inspired sourdoughs. Origin is committed to providing our customers with delicious and nutritious options to support their well-being.
