Lotus Psyllium Husks

Lotus Psyllium Husks is a psyllium ingredient for cereals, smoothies, juices and baked recipes, available in 500g and 700g packs. It suits cooks looking for husks specifically, rather than a finely ground psyllium powder or a flavoured supplement mixture.

The husks are pale and almost translucent, with a neutral taste. They are the outer coating of the psyllium seed. The husk format matters in a recipe: measure the named ingredient rather than assuming a powder can be exchanged in the same amount.

Use a recipe that calls for psyllium husks and specifies the amount of liquid. In baking, the husks are one part of the mixture, alongside the flour or other dry ingredients. In a cereal or drink recipe, use the preparation guidance for that combination rather than borrowing a quantity from another format. Husk and powder should remain clearly named in the cupboard so they are not confused. Follow the preparation guidance for the selected pack and recipe.

Choose 500g or 700g according to the number of recipes you make and the space available for dry ingredients. Both sizes are supplied as psyllium husks; the pack quantity is the main choice, and the preparation method should come from the recipe or selected pack. When comparing sizes, keep the husk format consistent. A smaller 200g pack is available separately if that quantity better fits your recipes; powder and husks should remain distinct ingredient choices.

Keep the psyllium husks in a cool, dry place, with the pack closed between uses. Use a clean, dry measure when taking the amount for a recipe, and keep dry ingredients separate from prepared food. Retain the ingredient and allergen information with the pack when cooking for someone with a specific dietary requirement.
