Fudco Basil Seeds (100 g) are high-quality edible seeds derived from the sweet basil plant, widely known as tukmuria, tukmaria, or sabja seeds. These small black seeds are a versatile pantry ingredient prized for their cooling properties, mild flavour and unique texture.

They can also be sprinkled on top of smoothies or mixed into breakfast bowls for an extra boost of texture and nutrients. Before use, soak the seeds in water to activate their gelatinous quality
