Our sweet and floral blue poppy seeds are harvested in Afyonkarahisar, Turkey's center of opium poppy cultivation for millennia. Perfect for adding a rich, nutty flavor to baked goods and pastries, but also for adding texture and richness to savory dishes like roasted vegetables and fish, salad dressings, dips and anything else you can think of

SOURCING
We source our poppy seeds from small farms around the city of Afyonkarahisar in central Turkey. The city is so integral to the history of poppy cultivation that the name of the city translates literally to “Poppy Black Fortress.” Poppies have been cultivated there for millennia for culinary, medicinal and recreational applications.

Going into my poppy seed cake
I love these poppy seeds... I grind them up a bit for a poppy seed cake. I love Burlap and Barrel❤️

The best spices!
I 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!

Its all about the freshness of these blue poppy seeds
..that make homemade bagels so delicious!

Delicious
The seeds were super fresh, tasty and beautiful.

The best
These poppy seeds have been the best, by far.

Twice as Good as What I Was Using Before
Last time I baked—Banana Buckwheat Sourdough—this week I used up my old (not unfresh or anything) Whole Foods poppy seeds side by side with the B+B ones...It’s like the difference between drinking orange juice from concentrate vs. squeezing the juice out of an orange. These are the (flavor) bomb!
