Poppy Seed Cert. Organic (Papaver somniferum) 1 lb: K

This is Frontier's nitrogen-flushed double wall silverfoil pack. Some Frontier packs are double wall wax-lined paper. These are the 'poppy seeds"™ called for in all the bread and cake recipes. Great baked on bread or into cake. Although the word has become taboo, 'poppy seeds' are opium poppy seeds, the seeds of papaver somniferum. These are viable seeds that will sprout beautiful poppies, should you care to adorn your garden, or just have chewy small sprouts for your salad. Then again, you may just prefer to experiment with the innumerable cake and bread recipes that call for poppy seeds. The number of strudel, croissant, dumpling and jam recipes that call for poppy seeds is absolutely mouthwatering. Ground poppy seeds are a common thickening agent in Indian cooking, used for spicy sauces. Japanese shichimi togarashi, an all-purpose spice mix, takes advantage of poppy seeds' nutty flavor.
