Tukmaria Basil Asian TRS 100g

Description

Tukmaria Edible Vegetable Seeds TRS are edible basil seeds also known as tukmaria, sabja, or basil seeds, popular in the cuisines of India and other South Asian countries. The small, dark seeds have a special property – when soaked in water, they swell and form a characteristic gel-like coating around themselves, giving them an interesting texture and allowing them to be added to many drinks and desserts. Tukmaria is a traditional ingredient of falooda, where the soaked seeds are combined with milk, syrups, vermicelli, and other dessert additions. They can also be used in fruit drinks, lemonades, cocktails, milk-based desserts, and other recipes inspired by Asian cuisine. Before use, the seeds are usually soaked in an appropriate amount of liquid until fully swollen, according to the preparation method provided by the manufacturer. Tukmaria is often confused with chia seeds due to their similar appearance when soaked, but they are different products derived from different plants and should not be treated as the same commercial name. The product is especially suitable for preparing falooda and traditional Indian drinks and desserts that require the characteristic gel-like texture of soaked seeds.
