what is sabja called in english - #36512
I am really confused about something and hoping someone could help me. I’ve been trying to understand what is sabja called in English, cause I keep seeing it in all these healthy recipes, especially for drinks. I was at this cafe last week, and they had then this super refreshing drink that had sabja seeds in it, but I didn’t know what to tell my friend when she asked. It feels awkward saying "sabja" all the time, lol. I mean, I tried looking it up online, but the answers are kinda all over the place and confusing. Some say ‘basil seeds’ but others mention ‘sweet basil seeds’ and I’m like, is it really the same? Could it be something different? I've also read about its benefits for digestion and hydration— but I’m honestly not sure how to use them properly. Also, is there a way to tell fresh sabja from the old stuff? I got a small pack from the local Indian store and they’re kind of different in color and texture I've noticed. Any advice on what is sabja called in English, how to use it right, and if there’s a specific brand or type that’s better? Would really appreciate any tips!!! Thanks in advance!
