Basil seeds, also known as Sabja or Tukmaria, are tiny black seeds harvested from the sweet basil plant, native to Asia and widely used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Rich in fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, they offer impressive nutritional benefits. These seeds are known for their ability to absorb water, forming a gel-like texture when soaked, making them ideal for thickening drinks and desserts. Basil seeds are celebrated for promoting digestion, supporting heart health, and aiding weight management due to their high fiber content. They’re naturally low in calories and free of cholesterol, making them a popular superfood. However, while they are generally safe to consume, excessive intake may lead to mild digestive discomfort in some individuals. Easy to incorporate into smoothies, puddings, or beverages, basil seeds are a versatile and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
