Basil Seeds

Description

Small, black seeds from sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), known for their remarkable ability to swell and form a gelatinous coating when soaked in water. When hydrated, they expand significantly and develop a tapioca-like texture, making them popular in beverages and desserts across Asia. Rich in dietary fiber, minerals, and antioxidants. Used in refreshing drinks, puddings, and as a natural thickening agent in various preparations.
