Poppy Seed
Poppy Seeds are small, nutty-tasting seeds, mostly used in baked goods for color, texture and mild, floral and earthy flavor. While small in size, poppy seeds are long on nutritional value. They are rich in protein and dietary fiber, as well as minerals like manganese and calcium.
Classic recipe
Glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Bundt Cake
Lemon poppy seed cake is an American favorite. The refreshing taste of lemon and our crunchy Poppy Seeds come together in this classic cake. Ricotta cheese helps keep the crumb moist, while a sweet lemon glaze gives the cake a beautiful presentation.
Poppy seeds are the oilseeds of the opium poppy plant, used for their unique culinary texture and essence. While native to the Mediterranean regions, they are mostly cultivated today in the Netherlands, Australia, Romania and Turkey.
Poppy seeds boast a mild flavor. Dry roasting or grinding the seeds releases their fragrant oils and provides a much deeper flavor. When boiled with milk and ground into a paste, the poppy seed’s unique flavors really shine, a fact reflected by hundreds of years of culinary history in countries such as Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Serbia, Bosnia and the Czech Republic. While small in size, poppy seeds are long on nutritional value. They are rich in protein and dietary fiber, as well as minerals like manganese and calcium.
