Poppy Seeds
White and blue poppy seeds, sourced from Afghan, Turkish and Indian origins.
White poppy seed is the variety most South Asian cooking calls for, used both whole and ground into paste for gravies. Blue (sometimes called black) poppy seed is the variety Western bakeries use for bagels, cakes and pastries — the two are not substitutes for each other despite the shared name.
Origin affects flavor and oil content more than grade does with poppy seed: Afghan and Turkish stock tends to run higher in oil content than Indian; tell us which you're used to sourcing and we'll match it.
