My choice would be Basil seeds, Please read the difference between the two first before moving on to the recipes.
Just like chia seeds. Basil seeds are similar in size to chia seeds, and also become gelatinous (and grow!) when submerged in water. Like chia seeds, these tiny seeds provide fiber and have a net carb we can get on board with–a serving of chia seeds contains just 1g net carb, and basil seeds have zero. A serving of both seeds is the same size (1 tablespoon) and contains 60 calories. Both seeds boast 2g protein per serving and have 0g sugar, and 0g sat fat.
You can use Sabja seeds( Basil )seeds half for more power-packed fiber !!!!. One 1 tablespoon (13g) serving of basil seeds is 60 calories and contains 7g carbs, 7g fiber, 2g protein, 2.5g fat, and 1,240 mg omega-3 fatty acids.
Where chia seeds can vary in color (grey, brown, black, and brown), basil seeds are completely black but turn almost a light blue when fully soaked in water. From a nutritional standpoint, basil seeds have a competitive edge; they have almost twice as much fiber, potassium, iron, and calcium as chia seeds, and 1g less fat too. Serving to serve, chia seeds overall have fewer carbs than basil seeds (5g per serving, compared to 7g) but with more fiber per serving, basil seeds actually have a lower net carb (0g, compared to 1g).
Basil seeds also have Appetite suppressing properties. More fiber keeps you fuller for longer and love the crunchy inside unlike chia. Total power food!!!!!!!
