POPPY SEED
POPPY-20
Description:
Poppy Seeds are the tiny nutty tasting seeds inside capsules on the opium plant that is native to the Middle East. This annual plant produces Poppy Seeds and also opium, morphine and codeine (derived from the sap of unripe pods). Poppy Seeds are small and slate blue in color. The Greeks used the seeds as flavoring for breads in the second century and Medieval Europeans used them as a condiment with breads. The botanical name for the Poppy flower means, “sleep bearing”. The seed does not have this effect. The red Poppy flower has been the symbol of honor and fallen warriors throughout history and was adopted as the emblem to commemorate Veterans Day in the United States.
