I've heard that basil seeds can be beneficial for health, but I'm unsure about consuming them during pregnancy. Are basil seeds helpful or safe to eat during pregnancy? Please advise.
Look, sabja is naturally cooling, but pregnancy is not the time to experiment with new things in large quantities. If you want to have it, take just half a spoon once in a while, or better yet, clear it with your gynac first.
I totally understand how you feel, I used to Google every single seed and spice before eating it! Sabja is generally very cooling, but it's completely normal to feel cautious about these things during pregnancy.
When I was throwing up constantly, having a tiny bit of soaked sabja seeds in chilled nimbu paani was very soothing. Just don't overdo it, keep the quantity very small so it doesn't upset your stomach.
I used to have soaked sabja seeds in my buttermilk during my third trimester to beat the summer heat, and it worked well for me. Now that I'm breastfeeding, I still take them, but during pregnancy, I made sure to use only half a teaspoon.
Hey dear, don't stress too much about it! Having a little bit of basil seeds in your rose milk or water is perfectly fine and helps with acidity, just don't make it a daily heavy habit.
My saas actually made me drink sabja water when I complained of burning feet in the summer. It definitely helped cool my body, but I only took a tiny pinch of soaked seeds to be safe.
When I asked my hospital nutritionist about seeds, she told me to stick to moderate amounts of chia or flax seeds instead of sabja. It's best to ask your own doctor or hospital staff before making them a regular part of your diet.
