McCormick Dutch Poppy Seed, Whole 20oz 566g
McCormick Whole Dutch Poppy Seed consists of tiny, slate-blue seeds with a mild, nutty flavor and a pleasant natural crunch. These seeds come from the poppy plant Papaver somniferum and are prized more for texture and aroma than for strong flavor, making them easy to use across both sweet and savory dishes.
Whole poppy seeds are most familiar as a topping for breads, rolls, bagels, crackers, cakes, and cookies. When baked or lightly toasted, they develop a deeper nutty aroma and a crisp texture that adds interest without overpowering other ingredients. They are also commonly stirred into batters for muffins, pancakes, and quick breads, or mixed into salad dressings for a subtle crunch.
Poppy seeds are widely used in Central and Eastern European, Hungarian, Scandinavian, and German cooking. They can be ground into poppy seed butter for use over noodles, rice, fish, or vegetables such as green beans and new potatoes. When crushed, poppy seeds also yield a pale, neutral oil traditionally used in salads.
This product is sold whole, allowing you to use the seeds as a garnish, toast them lightly for added flavor, or grind them as needed for traditional recipes.
