About Poppyseed

Poppy seeds are tiny, oil-rich seeds derived from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), primarily cultivated in Eurasia. They are a staple in a variety of cuisines, including Indian, Middle Eastern, and Central European dishes, often used in bread, pastries, curries, and sauces for their subtle nutty flavor and crunchy texture. Nutritionally, poppy seeds are rich in dietary fiber, essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and zinc, and healthy fats, particularly omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. They also contain small amounts of protein and B vitamins, contributing to bone health, energy metabolism, and heart health. However, their high fat content means they should be consumed in moderation. While they naturally contain trace amounts of opiates, culinary processing minimizes these, ensuring safety for general consumption. Overall, poppy seeds offer both flavor and nutrition when integrated into a balanced diet.
