Benefits of these husks

 

Everyone in the subcontinent knows this. We are also aware of its various benefits. Many people think that there is 'gul' in the name, maybe it will be the delicate petals of a small flower. But its relationship is not with flowers, but with seeds. To be precise, with the seed coat, which we know as the husk. It is known as psyllium husk in the foreign market. Greek 'psylla' means a kind of fly, a wingless flea. This name in English means that the seeds of this plant look like fleas.

These words are derived from the Persian 'ispa-gol', meaning 'horse's ear'. Although very small, the pods can look like a horse's ear when magnified hundreds of times. However, by a stretch of imagination, we have assimilated it into Bengali, which is phonetically 'Ishbgul' and spelled 'Isabgul'. Click here for more>>>

- Never buy opened isabg as it may be spoiled and adulterated which may result in not getting good results from eating it.

- There are various artificial flavorings available in packets these days. But if you want to get better results, eat plain isabgul instead of artificial flavored isabgul.
