List of poppy seed pastries and dishes
Poppy seed pastries and dishes are a variety of culinary creations that incorporate poppy seeds as a primary ingredient. Poppy seeds are harvested from the Papaver somniferum plant, also known as the opium poppy. Despite their association with opium, the seeds themselves do not contain any narcotic properties. They are, however, highly nutritious and have a distinct, nutty flavor that makes them a popular addition to a wide range of dishes.
