Psyllium Husk
Psyllium husk, an essential agri-farm product, is obtained from the cleaned and dried outer coat of Plantago ovata seeds. After careful processing to remove impurities, it becomes a highly valued natural fiber ingredient. As one of the prominent Psyllium Husk suppliers in India, Prime Psyllium is committed to delivering consistent quality and exceptional purity.
The husk is the natural mucilage layer surrounding the seed and is widely recognized as a pure dietary fiber. It is used in human and animal foods, pharmaceutical formulations, and fiber supplements. In India, exporters typically offer several purity grades, including 99%, 98%, 95%, 90%, 85%, 80%, and 70%, meeting the needs of different industries.
