Adding psyllium husk powder to ground meat dishes is an easy way to add an invisible boost of fibre. I foolishly believed that the front of the Metamucil label gave me all the information I needed. “No added sweeteners,” & “unflavoured.”
But a teaspoon (5.4 gram serving) contains only 3.4 grams of psyllium husk: the other two grams are maltodextrin and citric acid, listed in that order.
Maltodextrin is as blood-glucose-spiking as sucrose.
Sigh.

Just the 4-1?
Like the normal shit is ok?!
Edit: I’ve been buying off brand pure fibre
Just buy Psyllium Husk Powder – it’s available at a LOT of big stores.
I would recommend you buy both of:
Whole psyllium husks
And
Psyllium husk powder
They’re both awesome depending on what you’re trying to do.
Any brand you recommend that dissolves really well? I can’t stand the grainy texture of the one I tried.
2gr of maltodextrin carbs, is that enough to be concerned?
