Poppy Seeds
Poppy Seeds are small oilseeds used in baking, Middle Eastern and European cuisines, and as a crunchy topping or ingredient in salads, breads and desserts. They are particularly notable for being a mineral-dense seed, supplying about 1438mg of calcium per 100g. Nutritionally, poppy seeds are rich in healthy unsaturated fats and provide substantial fiber and plant protein, along with plant-based omega‑3s and trace minerals such as copper. Their nutrient profile supports bone mineral supply and cardiovascular‑friendly fats, and they also contain modest amounts of antioxidant compounds.
