Understanding Poppy Seed Oil

Poppy seed oil is derived from the seeds of the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). The oil itself does not contain opium alkaloids in any significant quantity if properly processed. It is prized for its mild, pleasant taste and its composition of fatty acids.

Why Consider KTC Poppy Seed Oil?

• Delicate & Nutty Flavor (If Food-Grade): When intended for culinary use, poppy seed oil offers a subtle, pleasant nutty taste that doesn’t overpower other ingredients. It’s often compared to walnut or hazelnut oil but is generally milder.

• Rich in Unsaturated Fatty Acids: Contains a good profile of unsaturated fats, including linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) and oleic acid (an omega-9 fatty acid).

• Traditional Uses: Historically, poppy seed oil has been used in various cultures for culinary purposes, as well as in traditional medicine and for skin and hair care due to its moisturizing properties.

• Unique Culinary Applications (If Food-Grade): Can add a special touch to salad dressings, baked goods, or be used as a finishing oil where a light, nutty note is desired.
