BLUE POPPY Seeds: a short introduction
Blue poppy seeds come from the common poppy (scientific name: Papaver somniferum) and are mainly used in cooking and baking. The flavor of these seeds is slightly sweet and rather nutty. When roasted, the taste and flavor become more intense. Blue poppy seeds contain a very small amount of opium alkaloids, such as morphine, codeine, thebaine and papaverine. Therefore, the seeds may have analgesic, soothing, mildly hypnotic and antitussive properties.
