About Posto
Posto, also known as poppy seed paste, is a staple ingredient in Bengali cuisine and is celebrated for its distinctive nutty flavor and creamy texture. Made from ground white poppy seeds, it is often combined with mustard oil, green chilies, and spices to create a rich, flavorful base for side dishes like aloo posto (potatoes and poppy seed paste) or posto bora (fried poppy seed patties). Poppy seeds are rich in calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats, contributing to bone health and overall nutrition. They also contain moderate levels of dietary fiber and protein, supporting digestion and satiety. However, posto is calorie-dense, meaning portion control is crucial, especially when paired with carb-heavy foods. While it offers nutrients and traditional comfort, it is best enjoyed in balance with other wholesome foods.
