Poppy Seeds
INGREDIENTS: Poppy Seeds
With the name "poppy seeds", we refer to many varieties of this plant, very different in colors and properties. The most widespread is the Papaver rhoeas, bright red, which grows spontaneously and from which nothing is usually obtained, as it has no particular properties.
As for the ambino of medicine, there is also the Papaver somniferum, the one best known because of the use that has been made of it for centuries and that continues to be made: the extraction of opium. The somniferum has white petals sometimes with slight pinkish reflections and from the unripe capsule that contains the seeds the latex is obtained that will be used for opium.
As for food use, Papaver nigrum and Papaver setigerum (or silk poppy) are used instead. Once the flower is dry, the seeds are obtained from its pod.
