Sabja Seeds

Sabja Seeds

Sabja seeds, also known as sweet basil seeds, are small black seeds that come from the basil plant (Ocimum basilicum). Traditionally used in a variety of Indian and Southeast Asian drinks and desserts, these tiny seeds have gained popularity as a versatile and refreshing ingredient for modern health-conscious lifestyles.

With their unique texture and ability to swell when soaked in water, sabja seeds add a fun, jelly-like crunch to drinks and dishes. More than just a culinary delight, sabja seeds are also appreciated for the nutrients they contain, such as fiber, essential minerals, and plant-based omega-3 fatty acids.
