Organic red poppy seeds from an accidental crop on the Kingsclere Estate in Hampshire. |
Organic farmers often find wild poppies growing in their cereal fields. Large numbers of poppy plants can reduce cereal yields but generally they’re not a problem and bring beneficial diversity above and below the ground.
We’ve been learning how to harvest and separate such edible ‘weed’ seeds from other crops. These poppy seeds are the fruits of that work.
The fine dark seeds of the common field poppy have historically been used in baking, added to batter or dough, or as a topping for biscuits and bread. In Eastern Europe the seeds are boiled in milk or water, ground and sweetened to produce a paste filling for pastries. The seeds are also pressed to produce culinary oil, much valued in France.
Try them toasted and stirred into mash or sprinkled on salads, veg or pasta.
A tasty and nutritious addition to sweet or savoury baking. Add to doughs, cake mix and batters, or use as a topping for bread, biscuits and more.
Or toast and sprinkle on salads, coleslaw, vegetables or pasta, add to curries, or stir into mash. Also good in chutneys and dressings.
Unpasteurised seed - do not consume raw.

This emmer is absolutely delicious, and everyone we've served it to has loved it. We simmer it and combine it with sauteed (in olive oil) diced onion and garlic, chopped parsley, and toasted pistachios. It's good hot or room temperature and the leftovers are equally good. Everyone likes it so much that we keep giving away our bags of emmer to them, so it was great to stock up at the recent pop-up event.
We eat so many of these beautiful fresh crisp nuts. The best Brazil nuts we have ever eaten
I bought bags for all my family and we all loved the fact of being able to support the indigenous people directly. We hadn't expected to also rave about these nuts being the freshest and most delicious Brazil nuts we've ever eaten as well! Thank you for sharing this wonderful bounty from the Amazon people - directly to us in the UK!
I bought a smal jar at the local organic market and was very surprised and instant hooked! Deep rich taste and nice colouring too. We’ve been secretly smearing it on our savory sandwiches, our son of 6 loves it too :). Works perfectly with sourdough!! Hope you’ll be delivering to the NL…?
Great nutty flavour and colouring. Fantastic with chicken or fish
