Poppy seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), commonly used in culinary applications for their mild, nutty flavor and crunchy texture. They are popular in baking, often sprinkled on bread, bagels, muffins, and pastries or incorporated into fillings and dressings. Poppy seeds are also used in various cuisines worldwide, such as in Indian and Middle Eastern dishes, where they are ground into pastes for sauces and curries. Rich in healthy fats, fiber, calcium, and magnesium, these seeds offer some nutritional benefits, including supporting bone health and digestion. Additionally, poppy seeds are used to produce poppy seed oil, which is valued for its mild flavour and potential health benefits.
Enjoy the nutty flavour and tiny crunch of these blue-black seeds on breads, pretzels and muffins as well as salads and noodles. Fold them into cake batters, or grind them to stir into sauces.
