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

United StatesGoing 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❤️
United StatesThe 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!
United StatesIts all about the freshness of these blue poppy seeds
..that make homemade bagels so delicious!

United StatesThe best
These poppy seeds have been the best, by far.
United StatesTwice 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!
