We source our poppy seeds from small farms around the city of Afyonkarahisar in central Turkey.

United StatesI love these poppy seeds... I grind them up a bit for a poppy seed cake. I love Burlap and Barrel❤️
United StatesI just tried using Burlap & Barrel Blue Poppy Seeds in an "Everything Bread" I have been making and they are as wonderful as all of the other Burlap & Barrel products I use such as the King Caraway Seeds. Burlap & Barrel certainly sets the standard for what spices should taste like! I love using them in cooking and baking and they never disappoint. Not to mention the packaging and shipping is first-rate!
United States..that make homemade bagels so delicious!
