These seeds are also called sabja seeds, Arabic falooda
seeds, Thai holy basil (which is apparently different from holy
basil), Tulsi, selashi and turmaria. And are best known around
the world for being the main ingredient in many sweet Asian
drinks.
They are often used in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine in India
and also Chinese medicine.
They plump up just like chia seeds and can be used
interchangeably in most recipes. I even throw them in my morning
smoothies. Like chia seeds they dont have much flavor which also
makes the versatile.
