About Blond psyllium

Blond psyllium refers to the seed or seed husk of a pale-seeded psyllium plant, most often sold as whole seeds, coarse husk or finely ground husk. The husk is light-coloured and fibrous, with little flavour; when mixed with liquid it absorbs water and forms a gel.

It is used as a thickening or bulking ingredient in foods and baking. Whole seed and husk products are not interchangeable in texture or composition, and grinding and processing matter when comparing nutrition measurements.
