Poppy seed
Poppy seeds are tiny black seeds that come from the poppy flower. They are commonly used in cooking and baking to add a nutty and slightly sweet flavour to dishes. Poppy seeds are often sprinkled on top of bread, pastries, and desserts for a crunchy texture and a pop of flavour.
These small seeds are harvested from the seed pods of the poppy flower. Once harvested, the seeds are cleaned and can be used whole or ground up for cooking purposes. Poppy seeds can also be pressed to extract poppyseed oil, which is used in some culinary applications.
Poppy seeds appear on food labels because they enhance the taste and texture of various dishes. They're commonly found in baked goods like bread, cakes, and muffins to add a subtle crunch and flavour. Poppy seeds are also used in salad dressings, savoury dishes, and even as a topping on noodles or vegetables for an extra layer of taste.
