High-fiber psyllium offers an easy way to improve digestive health and lower cholesterol. Psyllium contains about 71g of soluble fiber per 100g and is sold in whole husks or powdered husks. Psyllium is commonly found in laxatives such as Metamucil, but can be used daily in its pure form in small amounts to promote regularity. Psyllium can be added to foods to add fiber and help bind recipes. Because of its mucilage properties, psyllium is a great thickener and binder for raw and cooked foods. Always consult a doctor before taking psyllium in large quantities or as part of a detoxification regime.
