Opium Poppy - Hungarian Breadseed



Opium Poppy - Hungarian Breadseed
This stunning breadseed poppy hails from Hungary and is admired for its delectable seeds. Its vibrant purple petals are a sight to behold and eventually give way to large seed-filled pods that are perfect for adding unique shapes to floral arrangements. The seeds themselves are light blue and boast a nutty flavor. As an annual plant that easily self-propagates, we enjoy planting this poppy in clusters to create a beautiful sea of purple. Hungarian cuisine often incorporates poppy seeds in recipes, including fillings for bread and rolls, as well as a traditional noodle dish topped with ground poppy seeds.
