OT-Seed Cake was .... Time for another Roll Call?
Just joking Jeanne :-)
I think opium poppies are only grown in Tasmania, but I have known to be wrong before... Dee in Oz "nzlstar*" wrote in message be sure they are the right kind of poppies. there is only one kind of poppy seeds you can use to bake with the others are toxic. its the seeds from the opium poppy oddly enough. in the usa the growing of those poppys is strictly monitored by the govt apparently. this was just info i found online. you might find otherwise and it might be different in oz as well. beats heck outta me, j. "Dee in Oz" wrote... She may have done but for some reason I when Amy said that the seeds are put 'in' bread I was thinking alson the lines of caraway seed not poppy seed. Poppy seed cake isn't common but as you saw it is available Every year I get poppies coming up in the garden, considering the number of seeds that I throw back in the garden maybe I should save them and make a cake....lol Dee in Oz "nzlstar*" wrote in message http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/sear...e&publication= poppy seeds perhaps, Dee. those little teeny tiny black seeds. sometimes seen on top of breads, muffins etc. just did some googling and reading on this. the seeds were used in ancient greece for athletes to boost their energy, hmmmm. seems the baking seeds do indeed come from the opium poppy. other poppys seeds are toxic. also you can apparently toss the seeds you buy at the supermarket into the soil in autumn for flowers the following spring/summer. what you do with all the seed pods harvested could be interesting. in usa growing them is under strict control and illegal by private citizens. gee, i wonder why, lol. ) poppy seeds can have an effect on the results of tests done on athletes after competition. i dont have the details tho. j. |
