FAQ

What is the difference between whole and ground poppy seeds?

Ground poppy seeds (daralt mák) are pre-ground and ready to use. The grinding releases oils that give the deep, nutty flavor typical of Hungarian pastries. Whole poppy seeds must be ground before use to achieve the same aroma.

They are mainly used in traditional pastries such as bejgli, tészta and mákos kalács – but also in fillings for strudels, cakes and pancakes. Poppies are often used for holidays such as Christmas and Easter in Hungary.

How long do ground poppy seeds stay fresh?

Opened packaging should be stored in the refrigerator and used within 3–4 months to retain the aromas and oils. Unopened packaging should be stored in a cool, dark place.

Are ground poppy seeds healthy?

Yes! They are rich in protein, healthy fats and minerals such as iron, magnesium and calcium. They provide both energy and nutrition and fit well into a balanced diet.

Can you use ground poppy seeds in Swedish pastries?
