Frequently Asked Questions

What are basil seeds used for?

Basil seeds are used in beverages (falooda, fruit drinks, smoothies), desserts (puddings, jellies), and as a health food ingredient. They form a gelatinous coating when soaked, similar to chia seeds.

What is the difference between basil seeds and chia seeds?

Basil seeds (Sabja/Tukhm-e-Balanga) swell faster than chia seeds (15-30 minutes vs. hours), are typically more affordable, and have a milder taste. Both are rich in fiber and omega-3 fatty acids.
