Soluble fibers & mucilages
Soaked chia and psyllium, okra, pectin, guar gum… the soluble fibers that form a gel.
- Why?
- These soluble fibers form a gel: it soothes the mucosa, regulates transit in both directions and ferments slowly, without surges.
- Tip
- Always with a large glass of water — it is the water that makes the gel.
- Counting
- Fibers that gel on contact with water: psyllium, konjac, soaked flax or chia seeds, okra, aloe vera. Dry and unsoaked, the seeds tick under Nuts & seeds, not here.
