Poppy seeds

Poppy seeds are the edible seeds of the poppy plant, classed as nuts and seeds. The data shown are drawn from literature sources and do not specify a preparation method. Per 100g, they provide 47g of fat, 21g of protein, 1580mg of calcium and 330mg of magnesium.

Protein supports the maintenance and repair of body tissues. Calcium helps maintain bones and teeth and is needed for normal muscle function, while magnesium also contributes to muscle and nerve function. Fat is a concentrated source of energy, so the amount eaten is relevant when considering energy intake. Full nutrient figures, including saturated fat and salt, are in the tables below.
