Poppy seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), used worldwide in both sweet and savory dishes. Native to the Mediterranean region, they are a common ingredient in cuisines such as Indian, Eastern European, and Middle Eastern. These seeds are a rich source of dietary fiber, healthy fats, and essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, which contribute to bone health, energy production, and proper muscle function. Poppy seeds also contain small amounts of B-complex vitamins that support overall metabolism. Despite their high fat content, these fats are primarily unsaturated, making them heart-healthy when consumed in moderation. However, poppy seeds do contain trace amounts of alkaloids, naturally occurring compounds that may have mild effects if consumed in extremely large quantities. Generally, poppy seeds are considered a nutritious and flavorful addition to a balanced diet.
