While you might not think of poppy seeds as more than decoration for your bagel or salad dressing, the tiny black seeds prove that good things sometimes come in small packages. Poppy Seeds are tiny, slate blue seeds with a lingering, unique earthy flavour with mineral notes. They are used in baking; as a garnish on breads; as filling for German and Eastern European pastries such as strudel and babka. They are also used in Indian cuisine in dishes such as Korma.
