Production & Sourcing
Blue poppy seeds are the tiny, kidney-shaped seeds harvested from the opium poppy plant (Papaver somniferum). To obtain these seeds, the opium poppy plants are cultivated, and their seed pods are left to mature. When the pods ripen and dry, they are harvested, and the seeds are collected. The collected seeds are then cleaned to remove any plant debris or impurities.
