🌿 What are White Poppy Seeds?
White poppy seeds come from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). Unlike black poppy seeds, the white variety has a mild, nutty taste and is preferred in Indian curries and sweets.
In Indian cooking, they are ground into pastes for korma and gravies, while in European cuisine, they are used in breads, pastries, and cakes.
