Industrial Grade 80% Specifications
This grade carries maximum 12% moisture content. Purity sits at 80%, meaning 20% admixture of seed coat fragments and fine particles. Mesh size ranges 40-60, coarser than pharmaceutical grades. Natural brown color from minimal processing. Works for animal feed because livestock digestive systems handle the extra fiber. The admixture actually adds bulk without affecting mucilage function. Lower processing costs mean better margins for feed formulators.
