Poppy Seeds, Organic

Cherry Orange Poppy Muffins

They may be tiny (less than a millimeter in length, a single pound contains between 1 and 2 million seeds!), but SHILOH FARMS Poppy Seeds are big where it counts - flavor and nutrition! An exceptionally nutrient-dense source of fiber and B Vitamins, they are especially high in the essential minerals calcium, phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, iron, and zinc.

Nutty in flavor, with spicy, slightly fruity undertones, these slate-blue, kidney-shaped seeds have been used for thousands of years. Frequently employed as a spice or decorative element sprinkled over buns, bagels, and other baked goods, they are also ground into a paste-like filling for sweet rolls, croissants, and pastries. Found in cuisines worldwide, poppy seeds are an especially popular ingredient in Central and Eastern Europe. 

In addition to their culinary applications, poppy seeds have also long been used as a folk remedy in various cultures. Thought to promote everything from sleep and fertility to wealth and good fortune, it has even been said that poppy seeds can help you achieve invisibility or find true love!

Suggestions:
1. Add to muffins, rolls, and other baked goods for decoration and crunch.
2. Sprinkle over noodle dishes, potatoes, salads, or roasted vegetables.
3. Top oatmeal, yogurt, or cottage cheese with poppy seeds and fruit for a filling breakfast.
4. Use in place of sesame seeds or nuts to make brittles, homemade chocolates, and other candies.
5. Add to smoothies or milkshakes for crunch and texture.
6. Poppy seeds pair well with lemon and citrus flavors.

Storage: For optimal shelf life, sesame seeds should be stored in a cool, dry place, such as the refrigerator or freezer.
