Blue poppy (whole)

The poppy, known for its role in the manufacture of opium and heroin, deserves a much better reputation given its delightful use in cooking! Its crunchy, nutty-tasting seeds are widely used to flavor breads and pastries. It is often combined with pumpkin seeds, hemp seeds, or sunflower seeds. It can also be used to add an original touch to vegetables, salads, purees or marinades. It can be used in both raw and cooked dishes. Poppy seeds are a key ingredient in the Japanese Shichimi blend, along with hot chili peppers, yuzu zest, sesame seeds, hemp seeds, nori seaweed, and sansho berries.Origin: Türkiye
