Health benefits of poppy seeds

  • Poppy seeds contain many plant-derived chemical compounds that found to have antioxidant, disease-preventing and health-promoting properties.
  • Their unique nutty aromatic flavour is because of many fatty acids and essential volatile oils, which comprise about 50% of net weight. The seeds are especially rich in oleic and linoleic acids. Oleic acid, a mono-unsaturated fatty acid, helps lower LDL or “bad cholesterol” and increase HDL or “good cholesterol” levels in the blood. Research studies suggest that the Mediterranean diet which is rich in monounsaturated fatty acids helps to prevent coronary artery disease and strokes by favouring a healthy blood lipid profile.
  • Poppy seeds outer husk is a good source of dietary fibre. 100 g raw seeds provide 19.5 g or 51% of recommended daily levels (RDA) of fibre. Much of this fibre is metabolically inert content which helps increase the bulk of the food by absorbing water down the digestive tract and thereby easing constipation problem.
  • Additionally, dietary fibre binds to bile salts (a product of cholesterol) and decrease their reabsorption in the colon. It thus helps in a further decrease in blood LDL cholesterol levels.
