Every summer they blossom anew and make the fields shine in bright red: Poppies! Yet the plant does not originally come from Germany, but from the Middle East and Asia. In ancient Egypt, its seeds were a popular spice. But it has also been widespread in many European countries for a long time now. In ancient Greece and Rome, for example, the seeds of the poppy were used as a remedy and, in combination with honey, formed the basis for cakes as a power food for athletes ... That makes you want to run a marathon, doesn't it? Nowadays, you are sure to know blue poppy seeds from almost every pantry, where they can often be found as a popular baking ingredient alongside coconut flakes, cinnamon, cocoa powder and more.

Blue poppy or grey poppy – comparing types of poppy seeds

Not all poppies are the same! Did you know that there are over 100 poppy varieties worldwide? And the best-known variety, the corn poppy with its red flowers, is not edible at all! You should also keep your hands off many other varieties, because all parts of the plant, but especially its milky sap, are poisonous. Only the seeds of the blue, grey and white poppy are suitable for consumption and are used in many foods. But how do the edible varieties differ? First of all, the colour of the seeds is decisive. As the names suggest, those of the blue poppy are blueish-black, those of the grey poppy light grey and the seeds of the white poppy bright white. The poppy varieties also differ greatly in taste: while the white poppy is characterised by its nutty aroma, the grey poppy tastes rather mild. The blue poppy has an intensely spiced favour and is the most cultivated poppy variety.
