BASIL SEEDS WITH TWICE THE FIBER OF CHIA: One ingredient, whole sweet basil seed (Ocimum basilicum), cleaned and packed for eating rather than planting. Serving for serving they carry about double the fiber of chia.
NEUTRAL ENOUGH FOR ANYTHING: Basil seeds carry almost no flavor of their own, which is exactly why they work everywhere. They take on whatever you mix them into, from lemonade and coffee to yogurt, smoothies and overnight oats.
SOAK 5 TO 10 MINUTES: Stir a spoonful into water or juice and the seeds swell to several times their size, turning translucent around a black center. Five minutes gives a firmer bead, ten a softer one. Always hydrate before eating.
LOADED WATER, SMOOTHIES AND PUDDING: Sold elsewhere as sabja or tukmaria, these are the seeds used in falooda and in basil seed drinks. Stir them into lemonade, iced tea, yogurt, overnight oats or a chia-style pudding.
1 LB RESEALABLE BAG: Four times the seed of the 4 oz pouch and the size to keep on the shelf once a glass of loaded water is part of your day. Gluten free, keto friendly, vegan and plant based, with no sugar, additives or fillers.
