Basil Seeds = तुलसी बीज

Basil Seeds (तुलसी बीज) are tiny black seeds derived from the sweet basil plant (Ocimum basilicum), widely known for their impressive health benefits. These seeds are packed with fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, and antioxidants, making them excellent for digestion, weight management, and skin health. When soaked in water, they develop a gel-like texture and are commonly used in drinks, smoothies, and desserts like falooda. In Ayurveda, basil seeds are also used to cool the body and support gut health.
