About Poppy

Poppy refers to poppy material used as food, but the catalogue name does not specify whether it means seeds, leaves, or another part of the plant. In food contexts, poppy seeds are a familiar form, used whole or ground in baked goods and other preparations; however, that interpretation cannot be assumed for this record. The exact plant part and processing remain unspecified.

Where the item is seed, it is typically small and may be used for a mild, nutty flavour and slight crunch. Other poppy plant parts would have different characteristics and uses. The label alone does not establish species, preparation, or whether the ingredient is whole, crushed, or processed in another way.
