McCormick Gourmet Collection Organic Poppy Seed starts with poppy plants that are expertly harvested for delicate poppy seeds. Typically native to the Mediterranean region, poppy seeds are used to enhance baked goods around the world — think bagels, pastries, cookies, muffins, and cakes. Boasting a crunchy texture, poppy seeds instantly elevate dressings, fruit salad, noodles, and vegetables too.
