Rani Brand Authentic Indian Products Tukmaria Holy Basil Seeds 80oz (5 lb) — Bulk, All-Natural, Kosher

Rani Tukmaria are authentic Indian holy basil (tulsi) seeds sold in a bulk 80oz (5 lb / 2.27 kg) bag, ideal for falooda, sabja desserts, drinks, and culinary or herbal uses.

These tiny black basil seeds, also called tukmaria or sabja, swell into soft, gel-coated pearls when soaked and are a pantry staple across South Asian desserts and beverages. Packed by Rani Brand Authentic Indian Products, this large, resealable bag supplies home cooks, caterers, and beverage makers with many servings while keeping the seeds dry and ready to use. The product is all-natural, non-GMO, gluten-friendly, vegan, and now certified kosher.

How do I prepare tukmaria seeds for recipes?

Preparing tukmaria is simple: sprinkle the seeds into water or a liquid and let them sit until they form a translucent coating and expand. Typical soak time is short, and they remain gelatinous without losing their mild, earthy taste.

• Use a 1:10 seed-to-liquid ratio for drinks; adjust for thicker desserts.
• Soak 5–15 minutes at room temperature until pearls form.
• Rinse briefly before soaking if you want to remove dust.
• Add after cooling hot liquids so the texture sets without cooking the seed shell.

What dishes and drinks benefit from Rani tukmaria?

These seeds are traditionally used in falooda, sherbets, lassis, iced teas and chilled puddings where their jelly-like texture adds body and interest. They work equally well in smoothies, chilled milkshakes, fruit punches and modern dessert bowls.

• Classic falooda: layer with vermicelli, rose syrup, and kulfi/ice cream.
• Cold beverages: stir into lemonades, iced teas, and flavored milk.
• Healthy bowls: top chia or yogurt bowls for visual contrast and texture.
• Catered events: add visual appeal to mocktails and dessert stations.

How should I store and measure these basil seeds?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve freshness and prevent clumping. Measure with standard teaspoons or tablespoons for consistent texture; a little goes a long way because they expand when hydrated.

• Store in original bag or transfer to an airtight container.
• Room temperature storage is fine; avoid humid areas like near stoves.
• 1 tablespoon dry yields significantly more once soaked—test ratios to suit the recipe.
• Label with purchase date if transferring to another container.
