Basil Seed 500 g

Basil seeds, also known as sabja or tukmaria seeds, come from the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum), commonly used in cooking. These tiny black seeds are often confused with chia seeds but are different in origin and texture. When soaked in water, basil seeds swell and develop a gel-like coating, making them popular in drinks and desserts across India and Southeast Asia. They are rich in fiber, iron, calcium, and plant compounds that have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Basil seeds are known to aid digestion, cool the body, help with weight management, and regulate blood sugar levels, especially when consumed soaked.
