About Poppy seed

Poppy seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), traditionally cultivated in Middle Eastern, Indian, and European cuisines. Known for their nutty flavor and crunchy texture, they’re a versatile ingredient used in breads, pastries, sauces, and dressings. Nutritionally, poppy seeds are packed with essential nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc, which support bone health and immune function. They are also an excellent source of healthy fats, protein, and dietary fiber. However, they contain trace amounts of opiates from the plant, which are generally negligible but can be problematic in high quantities or sensitive individuals. Proper washing and preparation mitigate these risks. Poppy seeds provide energy and nourishment while enhancing the flavor and aroma of various dishes, making them a delightful and nutritious addition to many recipes.
