Poppy Seed (Papaver somniferum), also known as the opium poppy
or breadseed poppy, boasts a long and multifaceted history. Cultivated for
millennia, evidence suggests its presence in ancient Mesopotamia as early as 00
BC. Across civilizations, the opium poppy has found itself at the center of
medicine, ritual, and even cuisine.
Culinary uses for Poppy Seed revolve primarily around its seeds.
These tiny, black orbs, devoid of the psychoactive compounds found in the opium
resin, lend a nutty flavor and satisfying crunch to various dishes. They are
sprinkled on breads and pastries, used as a thickener in soups and stews, and
even pressed for their oil, a versatile cooking fat. Despite their safety,
poppy seeds can sometimes trigger false positives on drug tests due to trace
amounts of opiates.
Finally, Poppy Seed has roots in magickal traditions across the
globe. In ancient Greece, the poppy was associated with Hypnos, the god of
sleep, due to its sedative properties. Poppy seed is often used to open the 3rd
eye.
