What are psyllium husks?
Psyllium seed husks, also known as ispaghula, come from the Plantago ovata plant, which is native to parts of Asia. They are used in vegan baking to create a cake-like texture without eggs or butter. The husks absorb water to create a gel, binding the batter and giving you a soft, even crumb when baked.
