Our blue poppy seeds are tiny, slate-blue seeds with a mild, nutty flavour and a satisfying crunch. A staple in Central European and Middle Eastern baking, they are the defining ingredient in poppy seed rolls, strudels, and lemon-poppy seed cakes — and once you start cooking with them, you'll wonder how you ever managed without them.
Sprinkle over bread and bagels before baking for a classic finish, blend into sweet fillings with honey and lemon for strudels and pastries, or use as a garnish for salads and noodle dishes. Their subtle nuttiness pairs beautifully with citrus, vanilla, and honey.
