What is Psyllium Husk Powder?

Psyllium Husk Powder is a type of flour made from pulverized Psyllium Husk shells. It is nearly all soluble fiber, so this flour is often used in Keto baking because it has very few net carbohydrates. And it also acts like gluten to make chewier low carb bread.

How many carbs are in Psyllium Husk?

One teaspoon contains 8g total carbs, 4g fiber, 0g fat, 0g protein, and 15 calories. So that makes 4g net carbs.

What are the Psyllium Husk Powder benefits?

It has been shown to lower cholesterol levels in people with high cholesterol, so it is great for heart health. And it has even lowered blood glucose levels in Type 2 Diabetics . It forms a gel with liquids that slows down glucose absorption in the digestive tract and so it improves blood sugar levels. Because of its high fiber content, Psyllium Husk Powder is the active ingredient in the laxative, Metamucil. This is a food post, so I am not going to get into the health benefits of a fiber supplement. Let’s just stick a pin in it and say that Psyllium Powder is often used to promote “regularity”.

Can you use Psyllium Husk Powder for baking?

Yes, low carb baking is the number one use for the powder. As I said earlier, Psyllium Husk Bread is low carb, but has a very good chew to it, just like normal bread. In addition to Keto bread, you can make high-carb favorites like bagels and pizza crust as well. It is often used in conjunction with almond flour and coconut flour.

Is Psyllium Husk Keto?

It is not only allowed on Keto, it is encouraged! There are so many uses for it in the Keto diet. In addition to baked goods, you can use it to make noodles. Let me show you how to do it.
