Description

Poppy seeds are most commonly linked with bagels and breads, but they are often overlooked among the various seeds we use in the kitchen. Poppy seeds, on the other hand, not only add flavour and texture to meals, but they also provide a number of health benefits. One teaspoon of poppy seeds provides 4 percent of your daily calcium and phosphorus needs. In addition, one teaspoon of poppy seeds provides 2% to 4% of the body’s daily iron requirements. Iron is necessary for the transport of oxygen throughout the body and for maintaining a healthy immune system.
