Whole Spice

In Western and Middle Eastern cuisines, poppy seeds are sprinkled into breads and cakes—the classic lemon-poppyseed cake among them—or crushed with honey or sugar to make pastry fillings. In Turkey they are sprinkled into halva and desserts. In India the seeds are often ground with other spices and used to thicken and flavor sauces. And here in America, a homemade bagel with blue poppy seeds is a pretty thing indeed. Roast them first to strengthen their flavor.

Here's what you get:

2.4 ounces of whole blue poppyseeds

They are committed to finding the best spices around the world, and are renowned for grinding every spice to order. They will mix up a batch of Herbes de Provence just before shipping, or smoke and grind chiles to make a chipotle-and-honey rub ideal for pork chops. Ronit and Shuli suggest flavoring cooking oil with whole spices and removing them before adding vegetables and meats, then adding powdered spices just before a dish starts to simmer, then season to taste as it cooks. This contributes wonderful layers of flavor to any dish that benefits from some spice.
