Blue poppy

Blue poppy describes the small, dark blue to grayish, mature seeds from the capsules of the poppy plant. Because all parts of the plant contain alkaloids, this type of poppy is also known as the opium poppy. Blue poppy seeds do not normally contain morphine, but due to impurities, the morphine content of blue poppy seeds may vary depending on the crop and origin. Suppliers of blue poppy seeds are advised that the ratio of 4 micrograms of morphine per 1g of poppy seed is not exceeded.

In smaller quantities, blue poppy is often used in baked goods and pastries such as poppy seed cakes or poppy seed rolls, sauces, sweet casseroles, strudels, stollen, tarts and in savory dishes such as roasts, pasta dishes, cabbage dishes, mashed potatoes or root vegetables. The slightly nutty flavor, which develops only after processing, offers advantages in food technology and product development.

B2B wholesalers, traders and producers supply not only the food industry, but also companies in the cosmetics industry or medicine. The substances contained in blue poppy serve as a basis for the production of narcotics such as morphine. In addition, dried blue poppy seeds can be used as an exfoliating additive in the cosmetics industry.
