There is a plant that comes from India and Iran, but it is becoming more and more popular in our country. This plant is psyllium husk, or plantain seed husk. It is mainly used for medicinal purposes, but it also provides a versatile possibility of use in the preparation of our food, thus helping the fiber-rich diet, in which we are very lacking these days.
Its beneficial effect is due to its high water-holding capacity: when it comes into contact with liquid, it turns into a jelly-like substance, by consuming which we can improve the balance of our digestion. To use it as a cure, mix a tablespoon of plantain seed husk in 2 dl of water or other liquid and consume it immediately so that the gelatinization can start already in the stomach.

It is also excellent for thickening the sauces of our pasta dishes.
The advantage is that it can be mixed well even in cold liquid, which is why it is an excellent option for preparing puddings without cooking: for example, mix coconut cream, perhaps raisins soaked in apple juice, and enough seed husks to get a pudding-like mass for a mixture of fruit, nuts, and almonds. The end result is a dessert that is not only delicious, but extremely healthy.
