Basil seeds, a type of seed derived from the basil plant (Ocimum basilicum), are small, black seeds that are rich in nutrients and have various health benefits. They are commonly used in cooking and are also known as sabja seeds, tukmaria, or falooda seeds.
Basil seeds are a good source of fiber, protein, vitamins, and minerals such as magnesium, iron, and calcium. They also contain antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. Consuming basil seeds can help improve digestion, promote weight loss, control blood sugar levels, and support heart health.
These seeds are often used in beverages such as falooda and basil seed drinks, as they can absorb water and swell up to form a gel-like texture. They are also used in desserts, salads, and soups for their health benefits and texture.
Basil seeds should be soaked in water before consuming to allow them to swell up and release their nutrients. They are generally safe for consumption, but some individuals may experience allergic reactions, so it is best to consult with a healthcare provider before adding them to your diet.
