The present invention includes a dispersible dietary fiber composition
comprising a colloidal silicon dioxide and a substantially uncoated,
fibrous, vegetable material powder that is not naturally dispersible in
water, which preferably includes psyllium. Other components, such as a
saccharide polymer compound (preferably maltodextrin), a preservative,
and a flavorant may also be included. The present invention further
includes a method for producing a readily dispersible dry dietary fiber
composition by dry blending colloidal silicon dioxide and a substantially
uncoated, fibrous, vegetable material powder.
