What Are Unwashed Poppy Seeds?
Nutty and pleasant in taste, poppy seeds are nutritious oilseeds used as a condiment in cooking. The seeds are obtained from the dry fruits (pods) of the poppy plant.
Poppy seeds contain many plant-derived chemical compounds that found to have anti-oxidant and health-promoting properties.
Why Should I Get Unwashed Poppy Seeds?
Their unique nutty, aromatic flavour is a result of the high content of fatty acids and essential volatile oils, which comprise about 50% of net weight. The seeds are especially rich in oleic, linoleic acids and B-complex vitamins such as thiamine, pantothenic acid, pyridoxine, riboflavin, niacin, and folic acid.
How to use poppy seeds?
Poppy seeds offer a great way of adding unique colour and flavour to any meal, breads, or snack. They work wonders with other nuts, stir-fries, strong flavoured curries, and a wide array of food from across Europe, Asia, India, Africa and beyond.
How to remove bitterness from poppy seeds?
Poppy seeds (if unwashed) have a bitter taste and that's why they are not ready to be used raw. You should wash them in hot/boiling water and drain them. This way you will remove the bitterness from poppy seeds and make them a bit softer. You can wash them in hot milk, depending on what dish you make.
