💧 Cooling

Soaked sabja is India’s traditional summer cooler — in falooda, nimbu pani and chaas for generations.

🍽️ Keeps You Full

The gel formed when soaked slows digestion and keeps you fuller for longer — a glass before a meal and you naturally eat a little less.

🤎 Soluble Fibre

The soluble fibre in the gel is the gentle kind — easy on the stomach, and a simple daily addition for anyone short on fibre.

🪨 Calcium

211mg calcium per 100g — more than chia, gram for gram — with iron and magnesium alongside.

🍽️ Watching your portions

One glass of soaked sabja before a meal fills you up fast, so you naturally eat a little less.

🌡️ Beating the heat

A daily sabja drink is India’s original cooling remedy. It’s in every falooda, every nimbu pani upgrade, and every summer kitchen.

🤎 Short on fibre

The soluble fibre gel is the gentlest way to add fibre to a day — no grinding, no cooking, just soak and drink.

🥤 The falooda maker

Rose milk, falooda, sharbat, chaas — raw sabja is the ingredient the home version always needs and rarely has.

Is sabja the same as chia seeds?

No. Sabja (basil seeds) and chia seeds are different plants. Sabja swells faster, has a more neutral taste, and has been used in Indian cooking for centuries. Chia seeds have more omega-3; sabja has more calcium and cools faster.

How much should I use daily?

1–2 teaspoons soaked in water, once or twice daily. Start with 1 tsp and increase gradually to let your gut adjust.

Can I eat them dry?

Always soak before consuming. Dry seeds can absorb moisture in your throat and cause discomfort. Soak for at least 15 minutes.

Are these safe during pregnancy?

A whole food, generally fine in small amounts — but please consult your doctor before adding anything new during pregnancy.
