Where are the poppy seeds in a Tesco?

bootman

I have looked several times for poppy seeds to add to my bread. I have looked in the baking isle and the herbs and spice isle, but I can't find any. The assistants don't know either!

It's a Tesco Extra so I am sure they must have them somewhere.

Many thanks

I have never found them in Tesco - even the huge ones. I have only ever found them in Holland and Barrett or Julian Graves. I bought some recently in JG - they last for ages.

If it's a Tesco Extra, most of them have a kind of fancy ingredients aisle, usually has stuff like vanilla pods and cripplingly expensive vinegar-I've seen poppy seeds there, but haven't looked for them for a while. If you still don't have any luck, then a health food shop would be my next stop

if you are near a chinese supermarket they do poppy seeds in large bags very cheap

Our tesco has them in a new wholefoods aisle opposite stock cubes.

I've just searched on their internet shopping site and can't find it on there.

I've never found them in tesco ether and mine is huuuuuge - nasty things anyway - just get caught in your teeth. I buy the tesco three seed mix and chuck a handful in

they used to be with the baking things but last time i went they were reduced to about £0.09p and had all gone so maybe they have stopped stocking them

Ours were still in the baking section last time I bought them, although this was last month. They were next to the boxes of gelatine sachets.
I noticed some were saying they were being discontinued in their stores but ours were still full price at 38p.

In my tesco they were beside the baking bits. But in Sainsburys they were beside the herbs and spices. I asked in H&B and she said there was a nationwide shortage.....

It was the size of a v small packet of crisps.

a second vote vote for Chinese or Asian supermarkets/shops if you've any nearby

also, if you're going to be using a lot of them, try your local Health Food store, mine ordered me a 1 Kilo bag for around £3
