  • My mom tells me that having basil seeds with nimpu pani has a health reason for it, nimbu pani demands little more sugar to make it yumm, so if you add basil seeds to it, it will cover the sugar content, so your body don't absorb it all, which results in lowering the sugar levels.


  • it's believed that, It also helps to burn calories, loose wait, have beautiful skin and control blood sugars.
