Anthony’s Organic Psyllium Husk Powder is a single-ingredient, finely ground psyllium husk sold in a 1.5 lb (680g) resealable bag. The ingredient line reads “Organic Psyllium Husk”, and the bag carries a Nutrition Facts panel rather than a Supplement Facts panel (Anthony’s).

Who it suits

It suits shoppers who want plain psyllium powder with no added sweeteners or flavors, and gluten-free bakers looking for a single-ingredient husk powder.
