What is Isabgol (Psyllium husk)?
Isabgol, also known as psyllium husk, is made from Plantago ovata seeds. The husk must first be removed, washed, and dried before use. It’s a typical natural digestive aid.
The seeds are placed on sandy soil during cold and dry weather. After the plant grows, the husk is separated from the seeds after harvesting and packed for use in food and medicinal plants.
How is Isabgol (Psyllium husk) cultivated?
Isabgol grows best on sandy soil with adequate drainage. The seeds are sown in rows, just like wheat or paddy. The crop requires careful weeding and modest irrigation for best growth.
When plants reach maturity, they are ready for harvest. The seed spikes are first dried and then threshed to separate the seeds. The outer husk is removed, cleaned, and transformed into psyllium husk that can be used.
