Urban Platter basil seeds (sabja), 850g, are derived from the sweet basil plant, Ocimum basilicum. Commonly referred to as Thai basil seeds, Falooda seeds, sabja, subza, selasih, or tukmaria, these seeds differ from those of the holy basil plant, Ocimum tenuiflorum, known as tulsi. When blended into lemonade or sprinkled atop kulfi, they add a refreshing, grassy flavor. These seeds serve as a low-calorie snacking option and can be incorporated into pastas or soups for a delightful crunch.
Health benefits include aiding in weight loss, reducing body heat, alleviating constipation and bloating, and promoting healthy skin and hair.
