PAPAVER SOMNIFERUM

POPPY SEED

Poppy seeds, diminutive and slate-gray, hail from the Papaver somniferum plant, a species with a history as rich and deep as its vibrant petals. With origins in the Mediterranean region, poppy seeds have journeyed through time, finding mention in ancient texts and civilizations, from the Sumerians to the Greeks, often associated with sleep and peace due to the plant's sedative properties. From a holistic perspective, poppy seeds symbolize deep rest and the transient nature of life, given the fleeting bloom of the poppy flower. Nutritionally, these seeds are a powerhouse. They are packed with essential fatty acids, dietary fiber, and vital minerals like calcium, phosphorus, and iron. Their health benefits range from bolstering digestion, promoting bone health, to potentially aiding in battling insomnia. Moreover, the linoleic acid in poppy seeds offers moisturizing properties, making the skin supple. Poppy seed oil, extracted from these seeds, further intensifies these benefits, being a common ingredient in skincare formulations designed to hydrate and nourish.
