Blue poppy seeds are tiny oil-rich seeds harvested from the poppy plant (Papaver somniferum), valued for their mild, nutty flavour and delicate crunch. They are widely used in baking and cooking across European, Middle Eastern, and South Asian cuisines. These seeds add both texture and subtle flavour to dishes, and are also a source of healthy fats, fibre, and essential minerals such as calcium and magnesium.
