Poppy is the dried, kidney-
shaped seed of the annual
Papaver somniferum. The seeds
are very small in size, slate
blue in color and are nut-
like in flavor. Poppy seed is
used topically on breads and
rolls, and added to
vegetables and salad
dressings. Turkish cuisine
uses toasted poppy seeds,
while Indian and Turkish
spice blends rely on crushed
poppy seeds for flavor and
texture. Poppy seeds are a
classic addition to buttered
egg noodles, fruit salad
dressings, and fragrant yeast
breads. Poppy seeds add nutty
flavor and texture to
cookies, cakes, breads,
strudels, pastry crusts, and
pancake and waffle batters.
