Organic Blue Poppy Seed

Blue poppy seeds are tiny, kidney-shaped seeds harvested from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). They are typically cleaned and processed for culinary use. The seeds have a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly crunchy texture.

Blue poppy seeds are often used as a topping or ingredient in baked goods, particularly breads, bagels, and pastries. They can also be found in some desserts and savory dishes. Their primary function is to add texture and a subtle nutty flavor.

Poppy seeds are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a source of fiber, healthy fats, and minerals. While poppy seeds are derived from the opium poppy, the levels of opiates in the seeds are very low and generally not a concern for typical food consumption. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated poppy seeds.
