Its commercial common names are Pollen seed, Perilla frutescens, pearl fruit and Pearl fruit. Both of them come from areas with severe drought and little rain. The seeds have the physical characteristics of self-expansion about 30 times after absorbing water, storing water and increasing the germination rate of seeds.
The origin of THAI basil seeds is Thailand, and the basil species has the function of swelling when it meets water and preserving water. It is not absorbed by digestive organs such as gastrointestinal tract, and the colloidal skin after absorbing water can absorb the waste attached to the intestinal wall and excrete it, which is a good helper to maintain a good internal environment.
