Benefits of Poppy Seeds
Did you know that poppy seeds can actually offer a lot of great benefits to you and your body?
Are poppy seeds good for you?
They are. They not only can help with nutrients in your body but they can also aid in exhaustion relief as well.
Why use poppy seeds in baking?
Poppy seeds are used in baking and other things because of their size. They do offer health benefits as well and are a quick and easy addition to many recipes. They tend to look good, too, and can bring a fun texture as well.
Do poppy seeds get stale?
They can. If you’re not going to use them within 6 months of opening them, there’s a good chance that they’re going to be stale. If you’re using them in soap it really doesn’t matter but in baking, it would have an effect.
