Basil seeds, also known as Sabja or Tukmaria seeds, are small, black seeds derived from the basil plant, Ocimum basilicum. These seeds are rich in essential nutrients, including fiber, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. When soaked in water, they form a gel-like coating around the seed, similar to chia seeds, making them popular in drinks and desserts for their unique texture. Basil seeds are celebrated for their potential health benefits, such as aiding digestion, promoting hydration, managing blood sugar levels, supporting weight loss, and providing antioxidant properties, contributing to overall well-being and vitality.
