Please select the number of grams. 100g/250g/500g
Sweet Basil Seed, also known as Sabja Seeds or Tukmaria, are the black seeds derived from the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum), a herb native to India and other tropical regions of Asia. Though tiny, these seeds are packed with impressive health benefits and are commonly used in Ayurvedic and traditional medicine.
When soaked in water, sweet basil seeds swell and form a gelatinous outer layer, making them ideal for drinks, desserts, and cooling beverages. They are naturally cooling and are often consumed in summer to beat the heat. These seeds are rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants. They aid digestion, help in weight management by promoting a feeling of fullness, and may support blood sugar regulation.
Unlike chia seeds, basil seeds do not require long soaking. They swell within minutes and are tasteless, making them easy to add to a variety of recipes without altering flavor. In Southeast Asian cuisines, sweet basil seeds are used in falooda, lemonades, sherbets, and milk-based drinks.
Sweet basil seeds are also valued for their calming properties and are often used to reduce stress and promote better sleep. Their versatility and nutritional value make them a wonderful addition to a healthy diet.
