How to Use Basil Seeds for Weight Loss and Digestion
Looking for a natural, effective way to support weight loss and improve digestion? Basil seeds, also known as sabja seeds, are your go‑to superfood. Packed with fiber, omega‑3 fatty acids, and essential minerals, these tiny seeds swell into a gel when soaked, helping you feel full longer and keeping your digestive tract on track. Here’s how to make the most of Sresth ORA Basil Seeds in your daily routine.
1. Why Basil Seeds Work for Weight Loss
High Fiber Content: One tablespoon of basil seeds delivers around 7 g of fiber, slowing digestion and curbing hunger pangs.
Low in Calories: With virtually zero fat and minimal calories, basil seeds let you bulk up meals without the extra energy intake.
Blood Sugar Regulation: The gel-like texture helps moderate glucose absorption, preventing sugar spikes and subsequent cravings.
2. Soaking and Preparation Tips
Soak Before You Use
Always soak Sresth ORA Basil Seeds for at least 10–15 minutes in water (or any liquid). They expand to nearly ten times their size, forming a smooth, jelly‑like consistency that’s easier to digest and more effective at promoting satiety.
Flavor Boosters
Lemon Zest & Mint: Add a few mint leaves and a sprinkle of lemon zest to enhance freshness.
Coconut Water: For a hydrating twist, soak your seeds in chilled coconut water.
