Description
Dried Basil Seeds - 100 g
Basil seeds are small, dark-coloured seeds from the basil plant, which in their dried form are widely used in Asian cooking and beverages. The product consists exclusively of 100% dried basil seeds without additives or preservatives, making it a pure and natural choice for consumers seeking simple ingredients. The seeds are activated by soaking them in water or another liquid, after which they quickly form a jelly-like outer layer, providing a unique and soft texture. This property makes basil seeds particularly popular in refreshing drinks, bubble tea, lemonade, and traditional Southeast Asian desserts. They can also be added to smoothies, yoghurt, or porridge to enrich the dish with extra dietary fibre. The flavour is mild and neutral, meaning the seeds easily adapt to other flavours without dominating. The nutritional content is remarkable, as the seeds contain a high level of dietary fibre, a full 54 g per 100 g, as well as 15 g of protein per 100 g, making them a nutritious supplement to the diet. The energy content is 1757 kJ, equivalent to 420 kcal per 100 g, and the salt content is very low at just 0.08 g per 100 g. The product is packed in a sealed 100 g bag, which is easy to store and use. Basil seeds are naturally gluten-free and vegan, and they fit well into a plant-based diet. They appeal to anyone who wants to enrich their daily diet with natural, fibre-rich ingredients, including health-conscious consumers, vegetarians, and vegans. Dried basil seeds are a staple in Asian cuisines and are gaining increasing popularity in Denmark as a functional and versatile ingredient for the home kitchen.
