Poppy Seeds

Yes, rancid poppy seeds can potentially make you sick. When poppy seeds go rancid, they can develop harmful compounds and off-flavors due to the breakdown of fats. Consuming rancid seeds may lead to digestive issues or food poisoning symptoms. It's best to avoid using any seeds that smell or taste off.

No, poppy seeds and couscous are not the same. Poppy seeds are small, oil-rich seeds from the opium poppy plant, often used as a spice or topping in baking and cooking. Couscous, on the other hand, is a type of pasta made from semolina wheat and is typically steamed and served as a side dish or base for various meals. They differ in origin, composition, and culinary uses.

Oriental poppy sap, derived from the plant Papaver orientale, contains alkaloids that can have sedative effects, similar to those found in opium poppy (Papaver somniferum). However, it is not typically used as a sedative in modern medicine. While some compounds in the sap may induce relaxation or drowsiness, the use of oriental poppy for medicinal purposes should be approached with caution due to potential toxicity and the risk of adverse effects. Always consult a healthcare professional before using any plant-based substances for medicinal purposes.

Eating poppy seeds is not commonly linked to triggering migraine headaches. However, some individuals may experience sensitivities to certain foods, including seeds, which could potentially contribute to migraines in susceptible people. Additionally, poppy seeds contain trace amounts of opiates, which might affect some individuals differently. If you suspect a connection, it's best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Well, isn't that just a happy little question! One poppy seed said to the other, "I feel so lucky to be here next to you, soaking up the sunshine and swaying in the breeze. Let's grow together and paint the world with our beautiful blooms." Just like those poppy seeds, we can all spread positivity and beauty wherever we go.

Poppy seeds are often dispersed by animals that eat the seeds and then excrete them in a different location. They can also be carried by the wind or by water, helping them spread to new areas for germination. Additionally, human activities like transporting poppy seeds for culinary purposes can also contribute to their dispersal.

The poppy was introduced to Britain in the early 16th century, likely during the time of the Tudor period. It became increasingly common in gardens and fields and was later associated with the First World War due to its symbolism in remembering fallen soldiers. The red poppy, in particular, was popularized by the Royal British Legion in the 1920s as a symbol of remembrance.

Last night after consuming a large piece of lemon/poppy seed cake, I developed one of the worst headaches ever. It came on about an hour after ingesting it. Because of the speed and severity of the headache, I thought I was having a stroke. Even after taking three extra-strength Tylenol tablets, the headache lasted for hours. That is the only thing I can attribute the pain to. What an awful night. No more poppy seeds for me.

Sometimes.

I have had variable results. When they didn't grow it could be environmental conditions. I have been able to grow seeds bought in the baking aisle of a grocery store. The best time to sow for most zones is October. I have just bought them from the store, mixed the seeds with a little sand and cast them over a flower bed. Then water them in.

The royal legion a charity set out to help those inured during warfare.

no, the dried seeds of papaver orientale (oriental poppy) are not opium, opium is the dried sap from papaver somniferm (opium poppy), a related species.

however, it is interesting at least to me that I have run across a person who used oriental poppy pods and opium poppy pods interchangeably for recreational drug use. I have also met a different person who sapped oriental poppies and smoked the sap when they ran out of their legally prescribed prescription opiates when he couldn't make it to the pharmacy (and yes, it was a legitimate prescription, none of that faking illness bull) which makes me think the seed pods of oriental poppies do have a similar drug value to opium poppies. more interesting is that even when shown the difference, the guy using it medicinally still believed that he was sapping opium poppy and the other person who used the pods recreationally did not know the difference until he stumbled upon it online one day. another interesting footnote is that oriental poppies are legal to consume in most places, including the united states.

yes

The poppy is the flower.

i have herd that eating poppy seeds that are found in pastry cakes can cause a false positive test for meth.

poppy seeds cause a positive for marijuana - not meth.

Actually you are both very wrong. Poppy seeds can cause a false positive for opiates(heroin, morphine, etc). Opiates are made from the poppy plant.

Wow who ever said these top two are STUPID. I am speachless.

Sesame comes under Eudicots, so yes, it is a Dicot.

in the underground black market(WARNING: contents may cause drowsyness, loss of legs, and spider powers)

Well, there's a couple ways, one way is you could put it in the microwave for about 10-15 seconds, or you could put on the grill for a couple of seconds

Yes so much so you will stop breathing and die. When you make poppy tea you have no control or knowledge of the levels of opium in it. Nor do you know how much you should put in a cup of tea or a pot of tea.

If you read some addicts suggestions online better hope you have the same tolerance levels, blood serum levels, and the exact same batch of poppies.

This is the stupidest way to take drugs as you have no control. This make abusing pills like taking an aspirin.

Worse then Russian Roulette odds!

Peace
