Basil seeds, also known as Sabja seeds, are tiny, black seeds derived from the Ocimum basilicum plant. Popular in Southeast Asia, these seeds are known for their cooling properties and are often used in traditional beverages, desserts, and salads. When soaked in water, basil seeds swell and develop a gelatinous texture, making them ideal for creating refreshing drinks or adding to puddings.
