Thanks for these life made easy tips . But what’s Psyllium powder . Where and how can I get it
You are welcome Ogunode. I am happy to be of help. Psyllium husks powder or powder is a type of food fiber. About where to buy the psyllium husk, that depends on where you live. If you live in Nigeria, check for it in pharmacy stores or any supermarket that sells keto products. If you live in the US or any other country you can buy from amazon. Here is a link you can use to buy it or see what it looks like. https://amzn.to/2TZ3zXD Let me know if you need further assistance. Thanks for stopping by.

Hello. Compliments of the season. Please, does psyllium husk cause the Cabbage to swell up?
No Joy. It doesn’t make the cabbage swell up. It acts as a binder to keep the cabbage together so that the cabbage can act like normal Garri or any swallow. Hope that helps thanks for stopping by.
