Poppy seeds are the tiny, oil-rich seeds obtained from the dried seed pods of the opium poppy. The seeds themselves contain only trace, negligible amounts of the opium alkaloids and are perfectly safe to consume. They are widely used in cuisines around the world, especially in Indian, Eastern European, and Jewish baking and cooking, often as a thickener for gravies or as a filling for pastries.
In culinary use, Poppy seeds are a harmless and nutritious ingredient. In Ayurveda, the seeds are known for their calming and cooling properties. They are used as a nervine tonic to soothe anxiety, relieve pain, and promote restful sleep. They are also highly nutritious, rich in calcium, magnesium, and healthy fats, making them beneficial for bone health.
