Blue poppy seed is a blue-grey, mildly nutty poppy seed used whole or ground in breads, pastries and as a crunchy topping.
About Blue poppy seed
Blue poppy seed is the small blue-grey seed of the poppy plant, sold whole or ground. The seeds have a mild, nutty flavour and a dry, crunchy texture when whole; grinding releases more aroma and produces a finer, slightly oily meal. Their colour can appear blue-grey or slate depending on the product.
They are used as a topping and as an ingredient in breads, pastries, and other foods. Whole seeds and ground seeds behave differently in recipes, and toasted seeds have a different aroma from untoasted ones. The term describes the blue-grey seed form, not poppy-seed oil or a prepared filling.
