Short description (Khaskhas)

Poppy seed is an oilseed obtained from the poppy. The tiny kidney-shaped seeds have been harvested from dried seed pods by various civilizations for thousands of years.
Whole poppy seeds are widely used as a spice and decoration in and on top of many baked goods.
In India, Iran and Turkey poppy seeds are known as 'khas-khas' or 'haşhaş' and are considered highly nutritious, mostly added in dough while baking bread, and recommended for pregnant women and new mothers.
