Premium Blue Poppy Seeds – Nutty, Crunchy & Food-Grade Quality

At SpiceBloom, our Premium Blue Poppy Seeds are more than just a garnish – they’re a rich, flavourful ingredient that has been treasured in kitchens around the world for centuries. With their nutty aroma, delicate crunch, and beautiful slate-blue colour, these tiny seeds add flavour, nutrition, and visual appeal to both sweet and savoury dishes.

What Are Blue Poppy Seeds?

Blue poppy seeds come from the Papaver somniferum plant and are widely used in European, Middle Eastern, and Asian cuisines. Unlike the white poppy seeds found in Indian cooking, blue poppy seeds are the variety most often used in baking. Their deep colour and stronger nutty flavour make them a favourite for muffins, pastries, breads, and salad toppings.
