Sadaf Sweet Basil Seeds, known as Tokhm-e-Reyhan in Persian cuisine, are a versatile and nutrient-dense pantry staple. These tiny black seeds are famous for their unique ability to absorb liquid and develop a soft, gelatinous outer layer, making them a key ingredient in refreshing beverages like Falooda and traditional Sharbats. Beyond their cooling properties, they are an excellent source of dietary fiber, calcium, and iron. Simply soak them in water for a few minutes before adding to lemonades, smoothies, or puddings for a unique texture and health boost. A must-have for authentic Middle Eastern desserts and creative modern recipes alike.
