PTI Tukmaria is also popular as basil seeds. The basil plant has a strong, pungent, and sweet aroma. They look similar to sesame seeds but are black. Sabja seeds, also called tukmaria or basil seeds, are black seeds that look a lot like chia seeds and offer immense health benefits. They are native to India but different from the holy basil- also called Tulsi. Sabja seeds are rich in protein, essential fats, carbs, and are pack with fiber. Basil is usually adding at the last moment when cooking because adding it too soon can destroy the flavor. The seeds are using in Asian drinks and desserts. They are used after being soaked in water, they have the ability to soak up water to create a jelly rather like tapioca. 

PTI Tukmaria is high in fiber, a good source of minerals and plentiful in beneficial plant compounds. It is popular as a food seasoning, this aromatic herb is also use in teas and supplements which may provide a range of health benefits. Sweet basil is most widely using for cooking, but many other varieties with slightly different flavor profiles are available.
