Poppy seeds and Nigella
Seed, even a favourite seed is asked for.
My first thought was: "Who eats seed, why should you eat seeds at all."
It's not common to eat pumpkin or sunflower seeds in the Netherlands We have 101 kinds of potato chips, nuts, etc.
I once dried the seeds of a pumpkin in the oven, kind of fried them and it didn't only cost my a lot of time and gas but it wasn't worth the effort.
What you are looking at isn't gravel or sand but poppy seeds.
My favourite seed are poppy seeds.
It's common in the Netherlands to bake bread with poppy seeds on top of it.
I only did it a few times. I have a lot of poppy seeds left since I gave up on baking bread. It's too much trouble although I have a recipe - with oatmeal flakes - where I do not need to knead the bread but just stir the ingredients together.
If I make homemade bread my children eat the bread within a day.
I intended to show you another kind of bread with poppy seeds on top but this photo was the only one I could find on pixabay.com.

Sesame seed is used to but I like the taste of poppy seeds way more.
While searching for seeds I found a bag with seeds of the Nigella native.
They are a bit smaller as poppy seeds and dark coloured too.
In some countries, they make oil out of it and use it for everything. I forgot why I bought it but I guess it was for making bread too.
If you want seeds from a flower you have to let the flower die and not puck or cut it off.

Hello wakeupkitty :). We have pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds ready to buy. They taste really good and are also healthy.
Pumpkin seeds contain valuable ingredients, vitamins and enzymes, which are especially good for irritable bladder and prostate problems. Pumpkin seeds provide rich unsaturated fatty acids, vitamin E, beta-carotene, magnesium, iron, zinc and selenium.
Sunflower seeds have a high folic acid content, vitamin A, E, many B vitamins, vitamin D, K, lots of iron, calcium, potassium, magnesium, selenium, zinc and manganese.
Potato chips are unfortunately not healthy, which is why I almost never buy them at all.
I like poppy seed too. Poppy seeds have a lot of protein, calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, iron, vitamin E and B1.
But I also like sesame.
Sesame contains linoleic acid, many vitamins and minerals, lots of iron, calcium, various amino acids, B vitamins B1, B2 and B6, vitamin E and magnesium.
I guess each nation has it's own food habits.
I see pumpkin and sunflower seeds not as a snack and I do not like it through my food or on my salad.
What I meant to say is you can hardly buy it with us and if it's very expensive. Might be they are healthy but there is plenty of other food that contains exactly the same.
If you visit a Dutch supermarket and go to the "potato chips" department you will understand with I meant with it. Not only potato chips but all kinds of nuts you will find there. With us these are all the same, same department and seen as snacks, extra, luxury. I rarely buy it, peanuts are an exception but I do not like them through or on my food either.
Thank you for stopping by and your comment 👍💕
I love nuts.
@suntree nuts are indeed seeds too. You like all kinds? ❤️
Thank you for sharing this. I have not tried poppy seeds I think but they may be on some bread that I bought from the bakery. I wonder how they taste like. I do like toasted sesame seeds. It adds a fragrant taste and sesame seed oil too. I love eating pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds as snacks in front of the telly too.
