The poppy is a flower native to the northern hemisphere. Poppies have been cultivated by humans for thousands of years for their aesthetic, culinary, and medicinal purposes.
In addition to being a beautiful garden inhabitant, the tiny black poppy seeds are used in cooking, especially in baked goods. Oil is also pressed from the seeds.
Medical pain relievers such as morphine are derived from the milky latex produced by the seed pod of certain varieties. Cultivation of the poppy has a darker side as well. Opium is often abused as a dangerous drug.
