There seems to be a lot of confusion between the two; with some people even thinking they are one and the same.

Getting lots of queries regarding Basil seeds and chia seeds largely due to the claim that they act as effective weight-loss aids, when consumed as part of a balanced diet.

In actual fact, there’s a lot of key differences between basil and chia seeds-

1. They’re consumed differently. This is the really significant difference. Basil seeds cannot be eaten without preparation. They need to be soaked 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.

2. Appearance. The seeds actually look quite different when you compare them. Basil seeds are black, tiny and round. Chia seeds are a little bit larger, more oval in shape, and come in a variety of colours; including grey, brown, white and black.

3. Nutritional content. Both seeds offer certain nutritional benefits, but it’s generally thought that chia seeds are ‘better’ for you; as they contain antioxidants, fibre, calcium, protein and many other key minerals. However, basil seeds contain plenty of iron.

4. Benefits to the body. Chia seeds help to maintain healthy blood pressure and blood sugar levels in the body, help lower cholesterol and promote improved cardiovascular health,excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids . 

Basil seeds, on the other hand, function well as a diuretic and aid digestion. The richness of the iron in basil seeds also helps to improve quality of the blood.

5. Price. Basil seeds are hard to find and therefore more expensive than chia seeds. 

Chia seeds are now easily available in market, online or in  grocery stores.
