What is poppy candy?

Poppy candy is a confectionery product that is made with poppy seeds as the main ingredient. This type of candy is popular in some parts of the world, particularly in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Poppy seeds provide a unique flavor and texture that makes the candy irresistible to many people.

Poppy candy can be found in a variety of forms, including hard candies, pralines, chocolates, and more. Some forms are infused with other flavors, such as lemon, mint, or almond. Poppy candy can be made at home or purchased from candy stores or online retailers.

While poppy candy can be enjoyed as a treat, it is important to consume it in moderation. Poppy seeds contain opium alkaloids which can cause a positive drug test for opioids. Additionally, eating a large amount of poppy seeds in a short amount of time can result in potential side effects such as drowsiness, nausea, and dizziness. It is always recommended to consult with a medical professional before consuming poppy candy.
