Basil Seeds

What are Basil Seeds?

Basil seeds, also known as sabja seeds or tukmaria, are small black seeds from the sweet basil plant. When soaked in water, they form a soft gel coating quickly. This makes them popular in drinks, desserts, and wellness recipes. At Spice Nest, we supply clean, natural Basil Seeds sourced from India, packed for both everyday customers and bulk international buyers.

If you want a product that works for retail shelves and wholesale supply chains, basil seeds are a smart choice—easy to use, high demand, and widely used across food, beverage, and health markets.
