Sweet Basil Seeds 250g jar 
Organic, non GMO and no pesticide

Great for spontaneous breakfasts in a hurry as Basil Seeds swell in minutes, not hours or overnight. They are a nutrient powerhouse being rich in calcium, magnesium, and other electrolytes that are necessary for our body’s functioning. Their main key difference over chia is that they do not have lectins, which are inflammatory proteins that cause leaky gut syndrome. Also Basil seeds are very low in oxalate and have double the key nutrients than chia does.

Sizes available: this 250g Jar or 1kg Bag  

What health symptoms are Basil seeds known to be useful for? Having basil seeds regularly may help you:
• maintain electrolyte balance and avoid conditions like dehydration
• lower high blood pressure due to its richness in potassium, magnesium, and iron which reduce strain on the cardiovascular system. 
• high in fibre supports your gut health, improves cholesterol levels, and also makes you crave less unhealthy food by keeping you full. 
• they contain alpha-linolenic acid, which promotes fat burning in the body. 
• reduce risk of diabetes and obesity due to their anti-inflammatory nature.
• relieve constipation and bloating as Basil seeds are prebiotic and clean your stomach, with antioxidants, polyphenols, other plant compounds, as well as the Omegas.
• Basil seeds have been used ayurvedically by natural healers for a long time in treating kidney stones. Basil seeds act as a diuretic which helps rid the body of salt and detoxifies kidneys. 

Both chia and basil seeds come from plants belonging to the mint family, so they look similar and swell up when in contact with liquids the same way. So their uses in seed puddings, drinks, porridge and baking are very similar.

5 key differences between chia and basil seeds 
Lectins: Basil seeds have no lectins / chia seeds do. Lectins are inflammatory proteins that may cause leaky gut syndrome. 

Nutrients:
Basil 
seeds have double the nutrients than chia seeds. In a gram-to-gram comparison, nearly double the fiber, potassium, calcium, and iron than chia seeds. Basil seeds are also prebiotic and lectin free, unlike chia seeds. With more fibre and less fat, Basil seeds are great for digestion and reducing appetite. 

Appearance: Chia seeds are oval and have a mix of colors - black, gray, brown, or white.  Basil seeds are more elliptical more like rice shaped, smaller and have a pitch black colour. 

Faster to hydrate and swell: Basil seeds only take a few minutes to swell in water, while chia seeds may take at least 30 to 40 minutes. Both seeds absorb moisture many times their weight.  

Taste:
 Basil seeds do have a sweet mild flavour whereas chia are bland, neutral.  

Uses for Basil seeds: 
Basil seeds are used in Faloodas, lemonade, and porridge, plus even use them in baking. We haven't tried planting these Basil seeds to grow basil plants, but think they've been made for eating only. 

How to prepare Basil seeds 
Hydration time depends on what you put the seeds into. As a guide:
1 minute - 1/2 Cup of hot water and 1 Tablespoon seeds hydrates seeds in 1 minute
3-5 minutes - use cool water 
30 minutes - cold water, juices, teas or milk of your choice 
Overnight - gets you maximum hydration

Storage: Keep dry seeds at room temperature in an airtight moisture proof container. Once seeds are hydrated, keep refrigerated. 

When starting out & Other tips 
When including basil seeds into your diet daily and increase the intake slowly.
Should you have any complex needs, we recommend consulting health professionals especially during crucial moments in life. Be careful for dry seeds and children as they can be a choking hazard when not soaked in liquid. Seeds swell up when hydrated to 30 times their size.

Reliable protection that stays put during workouts!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I’ve tried many expensive name-brand sunscreens, but this Amazon Basics version performs just as well, if not better. It’s become my go-to for morning runs and trips to the beach because it actually stays on even when I’m sweating. Why I gave it 5 stars: Non-Greasy Formula: Unlike other sport sunscreens, this one absorbs quickly and doesn't leave that heavy, sticky film on my skin. Actually Water Resistant: I’ve used it for laps in the pool and long hikes; as long as I reapply as directed, I haven't had a single sunburn. No "Sting": One of the best things is that it doesn't run into my eyes and sting when I start to sweat—a huge plus for runners. Great Value: You get a generous 8-ounce bottle for a fraction of the price of "premium" brands. The fact that it’s formulated without Oxybenzone is an added bonus for peace of mind. If you’re looking for effective, no-frills sun protection for an active lifestyle, you can't beat this. It’s a staple in my gym bag now!

Great value and very practical
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
This sunscreen is a great value for the price. The SPF 50 protection works well and the lotion applies smoothly without feeling too greasy. It absorbs nicely and provides good coverage for outdoor activities. I especially like using these bottles to refill the sunscreen dispensers at my Airbnb for guests. It’s convenient, reliable, and affordable when you need multiple bottles available. Overall, it’s a solid everyday sunscreen and a very practical option if you need good protection at a reasonable price.

good price for good product. applies well, shake and store upright
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I believe it is equal to the name brands It is 50 SPF Sun Protection Factor so it offers strong UV A and UV B protection which are the 2 ranges of sun rays that do the skin damage and burning. It is an easily absorbed lotion that when rubbed goes into the skin and is not visible. It is thick and goes on with a non shiny, non greasy, solid thick feeling which is what we need for it to stay on as long as possible. It feels good after being rubbed in in that it feels dry and not overly greasy or with no shine and sheen. It is a good product and offers burn protection to me in some clear-sky strong sun uses. Reapply after entering the pool water or swimming laps and after an hour (all sunscreen labels say reapply after 80 minutes which I believe is per recommendations of the federal FDA or some medical studies). I reapply often and I still get tanned but I do not want to burn.

Survived the sun like a pasty legend
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I bought this sunscreen because I’m basically a human marshmallow — one hour in the sun and I’m toasted. This Amazon Basics Sport SPF 50? It’s like armor for the pale and easily crisped. I slathered it on before a full day of hiking, sweating, and pretending I enjoy direct sunlight, and guess what? No burn. Not even a pink glow. Just victory. It goes on smooth, doesn’t feel greasy, and somehow stayed put through sweat, water, and my dog licking my arm. It’s fragrance-free, which means I didn’t smell like a coconut smoothie or a chemical spill — just clean and protected. Pros: • High SPF that actually works • Sweat and water resistant — like, impressively so • No greasy residue or weird smell • Affordable and comes in a big ol’ bottle • Didn’t turn me into a lobster (the bar is low, but still) Minor feedback: It’s not fancy or trendy, but honestly, I’m here to not burn — not win a skincare award. Also, it takes a bit of rubbing in, but once it’s on, it’s locked and loaded. Final thoughts: If you want solid sun protection without the drama, this stuff delivers. Whether you’re hiking, swimming, or just trying to survive summer, it’s a reliable sidekick. Would absolutely buy again — my skin demands it.

Great Sunscreen at a Great Price!
Style: SPF 50, Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Love this sunscreen. I live in FL and like to walk most mornings, and need a good sunblock. This Amazon Basics is far better than my previous, far more expensive brand. It's a great price for great quality. I've been using it on my body & face, it's non-greasy, absorbs well, and really seems to offer very good sun protection. And I really appreciate the next day shipping on my past two orders, Amazon. Thanks for the great product & great service!
