Poppy Seeds - Whole

Poppy Seeds (Papaver Somniferum) are native to the Middle East. Poppy Seeds are tiny, nutty flavored, blue-gray seeds. Poppy seeds are often added to cookies, cakes, breads and muffins to add a nutty flavor and texture. They're high in calcium, magnesium and fiber. When ground, they add an almost fruity flavor to baked goods. Try this in your next cake batter, and you'll have people asking for your secret ingredient! We love Poppy Seeds in these warm and melty baked sandwiches. They make a simple and delectable summertime supper. And they're perfect as a halftime snack for armchair quarterbacks!
