About
Poppy Seed (Papaver somniferum) is a small, oval oilseed prized for its rich, nutty flavour and satisfying crunch. Whole or ground, it's a staple baking and cooking ingredient — used as a topping on breads, bagels and muffins, ground into fillings for European-style pastries and cakes, or stirred through dressings, yoghurt and savoury dishes for texture. Our poppy seed is sourced from the Netherlands and cleaned through a multi-stage system after harvesting to ensure quality and purity.
As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
Directions of Use
Poppy seed is supplied whole and can be used as-is or lightly toasted or ground depending on the application:
1. Baking topping: Sprinkle whole seeds over bread, bagels, muffins or cakes before baking for a crunchy, nutty finish.
2. Pastry fillings: Grind seeds to make traditional poppy seed pastry and cake fillings.
3. Savoury dishes: Stir into dressings, sauces or salads for added texture and flavour.
4. Toasting: Lightly toast in a dry pan to intensify the natural nutty aroma before use.
