In addition, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a powdered drink in which the psyllium husk granule is used. The psyllium husk granule is obtained by performing granulation using powdered sugar which has passed through a 120 to 280-mesh Tyler screen. The method for producing the psyllium husk granule comprises fluidizing a mixture containing a psyllium husk and powdered sugar which has passed through a 120 to 280-mesh Tyler screen, then spraying water, and finally drying the mixture for granulation.
A psyllium husk granule obtained by performing granulation using powdered sugar, wherein the powdered sugar has passed through a 120 to 280-mesh Tyler screen prior to the granulation, thereby providing a dispersibility of the psyllium husk granule in water that is greater than a dispersibility of a psyllium husk granule prepared using powdered sugar having a particle size larger than a size corresponding to a 120-mesh Tyler screen.
