Poppy seeds are tiny, kidney-shaped seeds harvested from the opium poppy plant. They have a mild, nutty flavour and a subtle crunch, making them a popular ingredient in both sweet and savoury dishes. Poppy seeds are commonly used whole or ground in baking, sprinkled on breads, bagels, and pastries, or incorporated into cakes, muffins, and traditional desserts.
In addition to baking, poppy seeds add texture and a delicate flavour to salads, dressings, sauces, and even some savoury dishes like curries and rice. They can be toasted to enhance their nutty aroma or ground into a paste for use in fillings and spreads. Poppy seed oil, pressed from the seeds, is also valued for culinary and industrial uses.
To maintain freshness and flavour, poppy seeds should be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Their versatility and subtle taste make them a favourite for cooks and bakers looking to add a unique texture and mild, nutty flavour to a variety of recipes.
