Poppy cultivation has been familiar to humanity for millennia, with evidence of its growth dating back to the Neolithic period near ancient villages. There are two primary seed varieties: the commonly found blue-grey seeds in Europe and the creamy yellow seeds in India. The organic poppy seed, exhibiting a blue-black or gray-black hue, belongs to the oilseed family and is known for its sweet, aromatic scent and nutty flavor.
Poppy seeds can be enjoyed dried, toasted, or ground, but they must be heat-treated prior to consumption. They enhance the color and flavor of breads, pastries, sauces, and salads, adding a unique touch. Additionally, they are ideal for cream-based sauces, curries, or as decorative elements.
Storage: To be kept in a cool, dry, and dark place to maintain freshness and quality.
