Psyllium husk is a popular plant-based fibre, which is nearly calorie-free. Psyllium is almost tasteless, gluten-free, low carbohydrate, and aids digestion. A small amount can be used as a thickener in soups, stews, smoothies, baked goods, and homemade sauces. It can also be used for bread making, in vegan salad dressings or can be added to beverages for extra fibre.
