Basil Seeds (10kg)

Basil seeds are small, black, whole edible seeds supplied in a bulk box for sweet shops, ice cream parlours, cafes, restaurants and juice bars across the UK. Also sold as sabja, they swell into soft, gel-coated beads once soaked in water. The seeds taste very mild, so they add texture to drinks and desserts without changing the flavour. Buying wholesale gives busy kitchens a steady supply for falooda and cold drinks.

Key Features of Wholesale Basil Seeds

• Bulk & Wholesale Supply: Packed as a bulk box for sweet shops, cafes, juice bars and food manufacturers that use seeds every week. A bulk buy keeps your drinks station stocked without frequent reordering.
• Wholesale Pricing: The seeds swell a long way when soaked, so a small scoop covers many servings. A bulk pack at trade price keeps the cost per drink or dessert low.
• Gel Coating and Soft Bite: Each soaked seed forms a clear, jelly-like coat around a tender centre. The result is a pleasant chew that stays distinct in cold liquids.
• Mild Taste, Dark Colour: The seeds take on the flavour of rose syrup, fruit juice or milk. Their black beads show clearly in glasses, jars and layered desserts.
• Simple Soaking, No Cooking: Soak in cold or lukewarm water for roughly 20 to 30 minutes, then drain. A large batch can be prepared in one container ahead of service. Use them in cold preparations, as heat can spoil the texture.
• Storage & Handling: Keep the dry seeds in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from damp and strong odours. Keep soaked seeds chilled and prepare fresh batches as needed.
