@payeli thanks for appreciation!! .you can use chia seeds too. Both seeds are different. Basil seeds cannot be eaten raw. Instead, you’ll need to soak them for at least a couple of hours in water. However, chia seeds can be consumed both raw and soaked; depending on how you want to use them.
Both seeds offer certain nutritional benefits, but it’s generally thought that chia seeds are ‘better’ as they contain antioxidants, fibre, calcium, protein and many other key minerals. However, basil seeds contain plenty of iron.Basil seeds are more readily available, and as a result, are generally cheaper than chia seeds
