Known as one of the most beautiful plants in the poppy family, poppy plants offer not only a striking appearance but also a valuable nutritional source. Poppy seeds, which contain essential minerals beneficial to health, come in different colors such as purple, blue, and white. Poppy paste, derived from these seeds, is a flavorful and nutritious product that stands out in both culinary and medicinal uses. The plant can grow up to 1.5 meters depending on the region it is grown in.
Poppy paste is commonly used in Turkish cuisine and is considered an essential ingredient in many traditional dishes. It is often used in breakfast items, pastries, and desserts.
