I've grown lots of those poppies too. However, heard on the radio some years ago, when I was considering using these seeds in bread, that they advised against. Don't remember the details, but they're not called opium poppies for nothing!

Would love to hear the experiences of others.

afaik, the opium is harvested before the seed heads completely ripen. & if they're left alone to develop, the resulting seeds have very little, if any, narcotic properties. so no worries about their use in bread making

I don't know if these are good value but I picked up the following at my local Aldi last week for 79p each (seemed alot cheaper than sunflower seeds i bought at tesco)

400g Sunflower Seeds
400g Sesame Seeds
175g Pumpkin Seeds

Also had a 175g pack (I think) of mixed at the same price
