    More on Poppy Seeds

    Poppy seeds are tiny oilseeds from opium poppies, so yes if you eat enough of them you may fail a drug test! They have a fresh, slightly nutty flavour and aroma with a crisp, crunchy texture.

    Nutritionally they are high in fibre, B vitamins and quite a few minerals (calcium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and zinc). They help in digestion, heart health and immune health. As well as a rich source of manganese which important for bone health and blood clotting.

    They are usually used in baked goods such as cakes, muffins, bread and bagels. But, I just love them in salads either whole or ground up into a paste.

    They will keep for up to 24 months if you store them away from direct sunlight in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. If you live in a hot and humid climate then I strongly suggest you keep your poppy seeds in the fridge.

    What Can I Use It On?

    This Lemon Poppyseed Vinaigrette is a great all-round salad dressing that you can use on just about anything and everything. Try it on your:

    • Green Salads
    • Avocado Salads
    • Tossed Salads
    • Bean Salads
    • Potato and Pasta Salads
    • Coleslaws
    • Salads featuring protein such as chicken, salmon, beef
    • Brassica salads either roasted or steamed - kale, cauliflower, caulilini, broccoli, broccolini, romanesco.
