Spice Appeal Poppyseed (Black), 21-Ounce Jars (Pack of 2)
Often described as a sedative seed, these highly medicinal plants were valued by the Greeks as a pain reliever as early as 1400 B.C. Although this plant has been extremely useful for thousands of years, it wasn’t until the 18th Century that the poppy seed became a pariah due to abuse of its opium potential. They have a nutty and slightly sweet taste with a light, smoky aroma. Roast to obtain a more intense flavor, and ground and mix with other spices to thicken and add flavor to Indian meat and fish curries. Sprinkle on breads, buns, bagels, cookies and cakes. Mix with honey and sugar to make cakes, fillings, strudel and croissants. Use in tuna fish, macaroni salad, sour cream, cheese dips, salad dressings, soups, cooked vegetables and coleslaw.
