Psyllium Husk

• As a gluten-free binder in baked goods: Psyllium husk is an essential ingredient in gluten-free baking, where it mimics the binding properties of gluten, preventing baked goods from becoming crumbly. Use it in breads, cakes, and muffins for a more cohesive and satisfying texture.
• To thicken sauces and soups: Add a small amount of psyllium husk powder to thicken sauces, soups, and stews. Its ability to absorb liquid creates a naturally thickened consistency without the need for starches or other thickening agents.
• As a fiber supplement in smoothies and drinks: Blend psyllium husk into smoothies, shakes, or juices to increase the fiber content of your beverages. It helps promote digestive health and contributes to a feeling of fullness.
• In low-carb and keto baking: Psyllium husk is a popular choice for low-carb and keto baking due to its high fiber content and minimal impact on blood sugar. It helps create a more bread-like texture in keto breads, pizza crusts, and other baked goods.
• To improve the texture of vegan patties and burgers: Use psyllium husk as a binder in vegan patties and burgers to prevent them from falling apart during cooking. Its gel-forming properties help hold the ingredients together, creating a more satisfying and substantial texture.
