What is Plantain Seed?
It is the seed of Plantago.
Distribution
Originally from Europe and northern and central Asia, Plantago lanceolata is now cosmopolitan. In Africa it occurs mainly in the eastern and southern parts, including South Africa. It is common in Mauritius and Rodrigues.
Description
A perennial plant that has erect, hairy, lanceolate leaves which grow from the rootstock on margined petioles in a basal rosette. Several grooved flower stalks, tipped by a short spike of tune white flowers whose brownish sepals and bracts give the spike its predominantly dark colour.
Seeds are laterally oblong and dark brown. The plant grows by the wayside. Its inconspicuous flowerhead, from which the small flowers with delicate stamens peer out, looks more like the spikelet on the end of a long stem of grass and is almost lost amongst the colourful variety of meadow flowers. On the ground, however, the narrow lance-shaped leaves that give the plant the specific epithet lanceolata, form a large rosette. The veins on the 20 to 40 cm long leaves are not branched like in other plants but run the length of the leaves. It flowers from May to September.
Health Benefits of Plantain Seed Extract Powder
Because of Psyllium’s high dietary fiber content, the plant is often used in laxatives. Popular products include Metamucil and Serutan. The plant has also been documented as a contributor in lowering cholesterol levels. Experts have cited some significant effects on the lowering of cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein levels. Manufacturers of cereals have often used this plant to produce cereals with high fiber and lower cholesterol levels. Heartwise cereals are an example of the types of cereals that contain the fiber-rich plant.
