Poppy Seeds (Khus Khus) FAQs

Common questions about alkaloid compliance, white vs blue varieties, and storage.

Poppy seeds are culinary seeds, but they must comply with strict alkaloid limits (morphine/codeine) in many countries. We provide batch-specific lab reports from NABL-accredited facilities to ensure all exports meet the regulatory thresholds of the destination market.
White poppy seeds (Khus Khus) are primarily sourced from India and are preferred in Asian cuisine for thickening curries and making sweets. Blue (slate) poppy seeds are more common in European bread and pastry baking. We supply both varieties based on customer preference.
Due to high oil content (40-50%), poppy seeds can become rancid if exposed to heat. We recommend storage in a cool, dry place (preferably below 15°C) in moisture-proof packaging. Under these conditions, the seeds maintain freshness for 12 months.
Yes, we can provide 100g to 200g samples for physical inspection and lab testing. However, for certain countries, poppy seed samples may require specific import permits or certificates even in small quantities, which we coordinate with the buyer.
