Poppy Seeds, Blue Organic

Blue Poppy Seeds – Organic Culinary Seeds for Baking, Flavor & Artful Garnish
Sourced from the revered Papaver somniferum plant, these tiny slate-blue seeds are cherished across global cuisines for their nutty flavor, subtle crunch, and visual elegance. With a history spanning over 3,000 years, Blue Poppy Seeds have flavored breads, cakes, and savory dishes in Central Europe, Iran, China, and beyond. Ours are organically grown, rich in texture, and ideal for baked goods, dressings, and traditional pastries like kolachi.

Their natural richness in iso-flavonoids adds a quiet nutritional boost, while their beauty makes them as pleasing to the eye as to the palate.

🌿 Culinary & Cultural Highlights

• Classic in European baking—ideal for bagels, noodles, breads, and strudels
• Adds color and crunch to salads, vegetables, and ice cream garnishes
• Used toasted in Turkish cuisine and crushed in Indian spice blends for warming depth
• Historically linked to calming effects (from whole poppy plant usage), though culinary seeds contain negligible opiates

Fun fact: Due to trace residues, large amounts of poppy seeds may affect drug test results—consume mindfully.
