Six Reasons These Tiny Seeds Are a Nutrition & Wellness Treasure
From promoting restful sleep to supporting bone health — poppy seeds have been used in traditional medicine for centuries. Modern science confirms their rich mineral profile and healthy fat content.
Promotes Restful Sleep
Rich in magnesium and tryptophan, which help relax nerves and improve sleep quality. A traditional bedtime remedy.
Supports Bone Health
Exceptional calcium content (over 1400mg per 100g) – essential for strong bones, teeth, and preventing osteoporosis.
Digestive Health
Dietary fibre aids digestion, relieves constipation, and promotes gut regularity.
Heart Health
Contains healthy unsaturated fats (linoleic and oleic acids) that may help lower LDL cholesterol.
Rich in Antioxidants
Contains phenolic compounds that fight oxidative stress and reduce inflammation.
Signature Culinary Ingredient
Adds a nutty, milky depth to kormas (like Khaskhash Korma), aloo posto, breads, pastries, and confectionery — an irreplaceable seed in South Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine.
Uncompromising Raw Material Standards
Every batch of our Khaskhash (White Poppy Seeds) undergoes a strict 3‑step quality assurance process. We ensure you receive only the cleanest, most flavourful seeds.
Triple‑Cleaned & Sorted: Seeds are mechanically cleaned thrice to remove dust, husk debris, or any foreign particles.
No Artificial Additives: Zero preservatives, colours, or chemical treatments — just naturally sun‑dried seeds.
Purity & Freshness Test: We test for oil quality and moisture content to guarantee freshness and flavour.
How White Poppy Seeds (Khaskhash) Work Inside Your Body
The magic lies in their rich mineral content (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus) and healthy fatty acids — compounds backed by modern nutrition science.
Calcium for Bone Density: With over 1400mg of calcium per 100g, poppy seeds are one of the richest plant sources, crucial for preventing osteoporosis and maintaining dental health.
Magnesium & Sleep Regulation: Magnesium helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting relaxation and deeper sleep. Tryptophan is a precursor to serotonin and melatonin.
Heart‑Healthy Fats: Rich in linoleic acid (omega‑6) and oleic acid (omega‑9), which support healthy cholesterol levels and cardiovascular function.
Traditional Khaskhash Korma Secret
Soak 3 tbsp white poppy seeds in warm water for 30 minutes. Grind to a smooth paste with a little water, then add to your korma or curry. The paste creates a rich, creamy, nutty gravy that is the hallmark of authentic Mughlai cuisine.
