Plantago ovata in Ab Pakhsh

Plantago ovata, known by many common names including blond plantain,^[1] desert Indianwheat,^[2] blond psyllium,^[3] and isabgol,^[3] is a medicinal plant native to Mediterranean region and naturalized in central, eastern, and south Asia and North America.^[4]

It is a common source of psyllium, a type of dietary fiber.^[5] Psyllium seed husks are indigestible and are a source of soluble fiber which may be fermented into butyrate – a pharmacologically active short-chain fatty acid – by butyrate-producing bacteria.^[6]
