Poppy Seed
Herb · whole · Central Anatolia, Turkey
Poppy seeds are traditionally used in baking and as a gentle aid for encouraging restful sleep. They offer a delightful, mild nuttiness that is punctuated by a crisp, crackling texture when crushed. The aroma is subtle and faint, echoing the comforting scent of toasted grains and buttery pastry.
