POPPY SEEDS

Poppy Seeds – Nutty, Delicate & Nutrient-Rich
Tiny but mighty, these slate-blue seeds bring a subtle crunch and mild nuttiness to both sweet and savoury dishes. Traditionally used in European, Middle Eastern, and Indian cuisines, poppy seeds are a versatile pantry staple with a delicate flavour that complements a wide range of recipes.

Why we love them:

·         Nutrient Dense: Naturally rich in calcium, iron, and healthy fats—small seeds with big benefits.

·          Baking Essential: Classic in bagels, muffins, and lemon-poppy cakes for texture and subtle aroma.

·          Globally Loved: Found in everything from Indian curries and chutneys to Hungarian pastries.

·         Long Shelf Life: Whole seeds retain their flavour and freshness best—just store in a cool, dark place.

How to enjoy:

·         Baking: Sprinkle into or onto breads, biscuits, and pastries for crunch and visual appeal.

·         Savoury Dishes: Add to curries, spice blends, or sauces—often ground into a paste for creamy texture.

·         Cakes & Sweets: Perfect with citrus flavours—try in lemon cakes or orange-poppy seed muffins.

·         Toppings: A beautiful finishing touch for salads, grain bowls, and roasted vegetables.
