🌿 What are Basil Seeds?
Basil seeds (Ocimum basilicum) are tiny black seeds from the sweet basil plant. While similar in appearance to chia seeds, they expand more quickly and provide a distinct jelly-like texture when soaked.
They have been traditionally used for cooling the body, aiding digestion, and providing hydration in hot climates.
