poppyseed

Tiny dark grain

Poppyseed is the tiny, kidney-shaped seed of the poppy plant, used as a flavoring and topping in baking: poppyseed muffins, poppyseed bagels.

The seeds have a mild, nutty taste and add visual texture.

Because poppies produce opium, eating poppyseeds can sometimes trigger false positives on drug tests—though the seeds themselves contain negligible opiates.
