Khakshir

Khakshir is a delicious, mucilaginous tiny seed whose most common and popular use is in all kinds of syrups and drinks. We can use khakshir in almost any drink we like, from simple khakshir syrup to saffron or lemon juice drinks. Because khakshir releases a gel-like mucilage in water and holds a layer of water around itself, it is the best option for hot seasons and times when we want to protect our bodies from dehydration and send heatstroke on its way! Khakshir can also be added to aloe vera jelly; since it settles at the bottom, it gives the jelly a fun new look and tastes very good too. We can keep khakshir syrup or drinks containing khakshir in the refrigerator so that when we feel like having a cool drink but do not feel like making one, it is ready and waiting to cool the body, mind, and soul!
