Description:

Poppy Seeds are tiny nutty tasting, blue-gray seeds inside capsules on Papaver somniferum, a yellowish brown opium plant indigenous to the Mediterranean. Poppy Seeds are used to flavor breads, cakes, rolls, and cookies in European and Middle Eastern cooking. In Turkey, they are often ground and used in desserts. In India, the seeds are ground and used to thicken sauces. The seeds are also used in noodle, fish, and vegetable dishes in Jewish, German, and Slavic cooking. These seeds like other dried seeds may germinate under proper conditions. However, herb and spice seeds sold by Frontier are not intended for sprouting purposes and in many cases will not germinate. They also have a high oil content, and although the oil is relatively stable while the seed is intact, refrigeration will slow the oxidation process and prolong the life of the seed.

As good a deal as 25 pound boxes Dec 03, 2010
By dexterm
Where can you go wrong with these. Very earthy and unwashed. I guess Colorado Spice technically beats these, but the price for these beats them. With the current prices the math comes out to only $5.60 a pound.

best seeds May 21, 2011
By teaster
Ive used every type of poppy seed for tea from amazon and this is the best one economically and quality wise. Colorado Spice isn't bad but these are much better.

good for baking, not for PST Jan 12, 2012
By PST user
I used these Frontier brand seeds (ordered from amazon) on a couple of occasions recently for tea and was NOT impressed. I order the same frontier seeds from other vendors and they are good quality for PST, but maybe this batch of froniter seeds that amazon currently has (in their Tennessee warehouse) have been washed or something. They do not do the job at all. Quite unfortunate really, considering the price and prime shipping.

I will reorder in about 6 weeks and update this review then on the quality of the seeds when I try them again. I hope this will be useful advice, leave a comment if you have any questions about other vendors and such.

EDIT: I just received another order 03/02/12, and unfortunately they are the same seeds as before. The seeds are almost all grey with only a couple of black seeds here and there. The good quality frontier seeds are the other way around ie: mostly black with some grey seeds.

Best poppy seeds on Amazon... Nov 02, 2011
By R. Bunds
These are 100% pure Papaver somniferum seeds. As another reviewer notes they are unwashed and very earthy, great for just about any use from muffins, cakes or tea. They come in two 1 pound foil lined bags that preserve freshness. Two pounds for $11 can't be beat!

High quality, Low price Jul 03, 2011
By Kevin
These seeds have to be the best bang for your buck! Great earthy, unwashed seeds. I haven't tried Colorado spice but the price on these beats it. As for Bob's seeds, they are a little more processed. If you want a great quality seed at a great price you should try these! I will be ordering again from this company very soon.
