Benefits of eating Poppy Seeds
Poppy Seeds are rich in protein, fibres, B vitamins, phosphorus, magnesium, and polyunsaturated fats. They are known to contain more calcium than any other oilseed. Due to their antioxidant potential, Poppy Seeds help strengthen the immune system, increase body energy, and improve cardiovascular health. They can also be excellent allies for athletes and sportspeople in maintaining muscle mass and bone resistance. Use them also to control cholesterol, balance the intestinal flora, and reduce nervousness.
Curiosities:
Did you know that Poppy Seeds are brown? The reality is that the blue reflex we see around the seed is due to the presence of calcium oxalate crystals, hence the optical illusion. Although they are recommended for eating, Poppy Seeds should not be eaten on their own. They have a pleasant taste that combined with other foods turns every meal into a real good.
Uses:
Use roasted or ground Poppy Seeds in yogurts, smoothies, salads, sauces, desserts, cereal bars, biscuits, bread, and sautéed vegetables.
Recommended daily quantity: 1 tablespoon of Poppy Seeds.
