🌺 Opium Poppy Seeds – Papaver somniferum

💰 Price: 2000 seeds (1g) | 4000 seeds (2g) | 10000 seeds (5g)

Papaver somniferum, the opium poppy, is the source of poppy seeds, poppyseed oil, and opiates like morphine, codeine, and thebaine. Its Latin name means "sleep-bringing poppy," referencing the sedative properties of some derivatives. While cultivation for narcotics is highly regulated, poppy seeds are safe for culinary and ornamental use.

🌿 Botanical Description:

  • 🌱 Type: Annual herb, growing up to 100 cm

  • 🍃 Leaves: Lobed, greyish-green, sparsely hairy, clasp the stem at the base

  • 🌸 Flowers: 4 petals (white, mauve, or red) up to 120 mm diameter; sometimes with dark base markings

  • 🌾 Fruit: Hairless capsule with 12–18 stigmatic rays; exudes milky latex when wounded

  • 🌰 Seeds: Small, nutty flavor, used in baking, cooking, and oil extraction

Poppy seeds are commonly roasted, ground, or used in pastries, curries, and unique culinary preparations. Poppyseed oil is valued for its mild, nutty flavor and health benefits.
