Poppy seeds, derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), are tiny, oil-rich seeds commonly used in baking and cooking across various cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and European. They boast a nutty flavor and mild crunch, often found in pastries, breads, and spice blends. Nutritionally, poppy seeds are a rich source of healthy fats, especially omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, as well as dietary fiber, iron, calcium, and magnesium. These nutrients can support bone health, heart health, and digestion. However, they contain trace amounts of opiates due to their origin, though consumption in typical food quantities is considered safe for most people. Their oil content also makes them calorie-dense, so portion control is advised. Poppy seeds are versatile and add both flavor and nutrition to meals, making them a valued ingredient in traditional and modern recipes alike.
