POPPY SEEDS - SMALL BUT MIGHTY We try and encour POPPY SEEDS - SMALL BUT MIGHTY 

We try and encourage our students to experiment with different inclusions to their sourdough, to add flavour, texture and nutrition. To help them do this, we have an 'ingredients library' with nutritional information about different ingredients, with links to studies and recipes. There is a sneak peek at the entry for poppy seeds:

These ancient seeds have been used by many civilisations through time since the Egyptians, Minoans and Sumerians. Still popular in Eastern bakery, the poppy seed is a beautiful addition to many sweet pastries and cakes. 

They are a rich source of tocopherols that the body can turn into vitamin E, vitamins B1, B3 and B5 as well as calcium and potassium. They are also a source of linoleic acid, an essential polyunsaturated fatty acid, used by the body to make important substances like prostaglandins and inflammation mediators. Some research even indicates that poppy seeds may help prevent some types of cancer.
