Powdered psyllium husks are the ground coats of seed from psyllium (Plantago ovata), a plant native to India and Pakistan where it known as isabgol or isphagula.

Powdered psyllium husk, which is mild and pleasant tasting, is added to foods as a thickener. Because the husks contain so much fiber, starch and mucilage, the powder is used as a thickening agent in the food industry in the manufacture of frozen foods, especially ice cream.

Psyllium husk refers to the outer portion of the seeds of Plantago ovata, a plant in the plantain family. The husk is extremely hygroscopic, meaning it absorbs many times its weight in water. As a supplement, psyllium is a source of soluble fiber that improves transit time in the gut. As such, psyllium is a featured ingredient in over-the-counter laxatives and fiber supplements such as Metamucil.

Powdered psyllium husk is also used as a thickening agent in foods. The powder is also used as a binding agent in gluten-free baking mixes.
