Psyllium Wholesale

What is Psyllium?

Psyllium is a type of fiber from the seeds of the Plantago ovata plant, which mainly grows in dry areas of India. As a natural soluble fiber, psyllium helps with digestion and is popular in gluten-free and fiber-rich products. It is commonly mixed with flax seeds, chia seeds, or apricot kernels in healthy recipes. With more people looking for healthy foods and ingredients, psyllium has become an important product for both consumers as businesses.

Psyllium Products

Psyllium comes in different types that serve various purposes:

• Psyllium Seeds: These seeds are used in traditional medicine and as animal feed.
• Psyllium Husk: This is the outer part of the seed. It has a lot of soluble fiber and mucilage. It is used in foods, fiber supplements, and baking.
• Psyllium Husk Powder: This is a fine powder made from the husk. It blends well into drinks, snacks, and some medicines.
• Psyllium Industrial Powder (Khakha Powder): This powder is made from processing the husk. It is used in non-food products as a binder or thickener.

Each type has its own texture, ability to absorb water, and specific uses, helping producers pick the right option for their needs.

Harvest Season

Psyllium is typically planted in the cooler months and harvested in spring, between March and May. After it is harvested, the seeds are mechanically processed to remove the husk, which is the main part that is being sold. Good harvesting and drying, right after collection, are important to improve fiber yield and maintain product quality.

Producing Countries

Psyllium is mostly grown in a few places, with India as the largest producer. India produces over 80% of the world's psyllium, mainly from the states of Gujarat and Rajasthan. In 2020, the global psyllium market was worth about USD 215 million. It is expected to reach USD 525 million by 2029, growing at a rate of around 9.2% each year. Other important producers include:

• Pakistan: Grows psyllium mainly for local use but also exports some.
• Bangladesh: Produces psyllium mostly for its own needs.

These countries are important in the global psyllium supply chain, providing dietary fiber for health, personal care, and food industries.
