Can poppy seeds go bad?

Yes, due to their high oil content, they can become rancid. If they smell musty or bitter, they should be discarded.

Do poppy seeds cause a positive drug test?

How do I grind poppy seeds?

Are poppy seeds safe for everyone?

Generally yes, but they should be consumed in culinary amounts. Pregnant women and those with specific sensitivities should consult a doctor regarding large quantities.

Why are poppy seeds used in Indian curries?

In Indian cuisine (often called Khus Khus), they are ground into a paste to act as a thickener and to provide a creamy, nutty base for gravies.
