Product code: 2324620

The poppy is a tall annual with blue-green stems. Papavera somniferum means sleep-inducing poppy, referring to the opium latex that exudes when the unripe seed pod is cut. Neither the seeds nor the dried pods from which they are harvested have narcotic properties. Poppy seeds may be slate blue, creamy white, or mid-brown. The latter are used mostly in Turkey and the Middle East. Blue poppy seeds are most used in Europe, and the white seeds in India.
