White Poppy Seeds: Overview
White poppy seeds, derived from the Papaver somniferum plant, are small, oval seeds known for their nutty flavor and creamy color. Commonly used in Indian, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines, these seeds are often referred to as khus khus in South Asia. Unlike the more common blue or black poppy seeds used in Western baking, white poppy seeds are prized for their mild taste and thickening properties in cooking.
Nutritionally, white poppy seeds are rich in calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and healthy fats, particularly omega-6 fatty acids. They also provide a good amount of protein and dietary fiber, making them beneficial for bone health, digestion, and energy support. In traditional medicine systems like Ayurveda and Unani, they are used to promote relaxation, aid in sleep, and soothe digestive disorders.
Culinary uses include incorporation in curries, gravies, sweets, and baking. Ground into a paste, white poppy seeds are used as a natural thickener and flavor enhancer in many rich and creamy dishes.
Though they contain trace amounts of opiate compounds, the seeds themselves are non-narcotic and safe to consume in normal culinary quantities. However, excessive intake should be avoided, especially before drug testing.
