Blue Poppy Seeds Organic | Maanzaad Blauw Bio

Description

Organic Blue Poppy Seeds are small nutritious seeds derived from the poppy plant. Papaver somniferum is an herbaceous annual plant originating from Greece and the Orient. Surprisingly, poppy seeds have been cultivated for well over 3000 years. Although they’re usually black, they can vary in colour. They have a nutty, slightly woody, earthy taste, and a crisp texture. Organic blue poppy seeds are mild in flavour which is why they are so often used as a versatile topping. Poppy seeds are crackly as you bite into them  and are perfect for contrasting textures in soft baked goods. Poppy seeds are a source of fiber, magnesium, and calcium.

How to Use
Organic blue poppy seeds are used primarily in baking. For example, you can find them poppy cakes, strudels, and Danish pastries. The most common way to use poppy seeds is as a topping, although they can be used in many different recipes by incorporating the seeds into the dough. Poppy seeds can be eaten whole, ground, and added to a meal, or pressed for poppy seed oil.
