Basil/ Sabja Seeds
Price range: R59.00 through R949.00
About this product
Basil seeds, also known as sabja seeds, tukmaria, or falooda seeds, are the tiny black seeds of the sweet basil plant(Ocimum basilicum), the same plant used for culinary basil leaves. Though similar in appearance to chia seeds, they are entirely different botanically and nutritionally. When soaked in water, basil seeds swell and form a gelatinous coating, giving them a distinctive texture—soft on the outside and slightly crunchy inside.
They are flavourless, making them ideal for blending into various beverages and dishes without altering taste, while adding visual appeal and unique mouthfeel/palatable experience.
