White poppies are an old type of poppy breed with a nutty flavour. The flowers are processed into gray poppy seeds. White poppies bloom in pink even though the crown of the flower remains closed.

The seeds can be used as a replacement for nuts. Compared to other types of poppies, white poppy has the great advantage that you can smile without having to worry about having seeds stuck in your teeth! 

White poppy seeds can be sprinkled on pastries, or used as pastry filling. White poppy seeds can also be sprinkled into pasta sauce or over vegetables. You will be surprised what all you can do with them!
