Botanical Name: Papaver somniferum
Origin: Turkey
Black poppy seeds are an oilseed obtained from the dried seed pods of the poppy flower. These tiny, kidney-shaped seeds have been harvested by various civilizations for thousands of years for both culinary and sedative uses. To some extent, harvesting for poppy seeds is in conflict with harvesting for opium. Poppy seeds of superior quality are harvested from ripe seed pods whereas opium is harvested while the seed pods are still green and their latex is abundant.
Qualities: Poppy seeds are composed of 6% water, 28% carbohydrates, 42% fat, and 21% protein and are a rich source of thiamin, folate, and several essential minerals including calcium, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, and zinc.
Common use: the seeds are used, whole or ground, as an ingredient in many foods all over the world - especially in pastry and bread, or pressed to yield poppy seed oil.
Storage: Store in a cool, dark, dry place

CanadaORGANIC POPPY SEEDS, black ?
Firstly I'll mention my overall experience of receiving them if I may?The seeds arrived in great time, especially considering how far they had travelled from B C. The seeds were packed in a strong container being well packed for transit on top of that. I may have missed it in the original ad but I was pleased to see Turkey , as country of origin.These seeds were purchased as a gift for a younger middle aged couple who have moved to a small rural acreage and away from the big city. They both have a strong histories of Naturopathic Medicine. Red Oak tree seedlings I grew from acorns form a property line for them on one side of their property would like some colorful company. The majority of the seeds produced I'm sure will be more than ample for their Kitchen uses which haven't happened yet. The overall plan for these seeds is to be scattered in the fall and liberally spread around the oaks for over the acreages frontage for a beautiful viewing opportunity outside and the feeling of knowing they're home grown poppy seeds on your bagels.

Paul R. CanadaNot quite organic
In a technical sense they may well be purely organic. I am am very positive that they'd been washed, however. They were lacking in flavour, plus unwashed poppy seeds have a light, aromatic, almost flowery scent, where these were quite odourless. So definitely processed, whether they were organic or not. Sorry to be negative but people need to know what they're getting when placing an order.

Elisabeth T. CanadaSuper poppy seeds
As a hungarian family, we often use poppy seeds in foods and sweets. This is a very sensitive thing, because the seed more often than not rancid, and then can't eat them. At home we bought on the market, but sometimes have to throw in the trash.... this was like a gambling, maybe good maybe not. Anyway I thought gave a chance and will try Omfoods's poppy seeds... Thank you, this is sweet, fresh, perfect. Smaller than usual, but perfect after grinding. The first order is over by week....
