Poppy Seeds

Poppy seeds have a nutty and a slightly sweet taste with a slightly smoky aroma. They contain protein and good amounts of lecithin, minerals, and oxalic acid.

The Egyptians mixed poppy seeds with honey as a dessert for their pharaohs. The Turks and Germans made a bread with poppy seeds and flour. The ancient Indians mixed it with sugarcane  juice for a confection.
