Tips for Swapping Whole and Powdered Psyllium

Powdered psyllium is more absorbent than whole husk, so you'll need less powdered psyllium than whole husk, by weight or volume.

Because both forms of psyllium are so absorbent, even small differences in quantity can noticeably affect dough hydration and structure.

If your dough seems too dry or stiff, try adding a little more water. If it's overly soft or sticky, allow it to rest for 10-15 minutes before making further adjustments.

When to Measure by Weight vs. Volume

Whenever possible, I recommend measuring in grams for better accuracy. Just make sure your scale can read in 1-gram increments or smaller.

That said, if teaspoons are what you have on hand, the calculator still works well for those swaps as well.
