Poppy Seed *Saffron & Sage Party Product*

USD $5.00 – USD $19.98

The poppy seed (Papaver somniferum) is a tiny, kidney shaped seed from the poppy flower. It has been cultivated for some 3,000 years throughout Asia, Asia Minor and parts of the Middle East for food seasonings and as a medicinal herb.

There are two major varieties of the poppy seed. The blue variety is a common seasoning in European baking, while the white variety is used in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Despite differences in appearance, there is only slight variation in flavor between the two.

Although the poppy is sometimes grown for its opiate properties, culinary poppy seeds are allowed to mature, leaving them devoid of opiates at the time of harvest. When used for food seasonings, poppy seeds only add a slightly sweet, nutty flavor and aroma to any dish. The warm flavor grows more pronounced and a bit spicier when a dish featuring poppy seeds is exposed to heat.

Poppy seeds are rich in unsaturated fatty acids, making them a healthful choice for seasoning.  They can be used whole or crushed, though they are difficult to grind unless first roasted.

Poppy seeds are used as food seasonings in a variety of ways throughout the world. In Western cuisine, they flavor baked goods, such as breads and cakes, while they are ground and used to thicken sauces and curries in Indian and Turkish foods. European and Slavic cuisine uses poppy seeds to season fish, vegetable and noodle dishes.

Description

*Saffron & Sage  PARTY PRODUCT*

My goal is to bring fresh spices to your door, but due to the sheer volume of keeping so many spices on hand and fresh, I didn’t think it was possible.  Someone mentioned doing a spice party, and after much thought and figuring, I decided it just might work.  I am only getting started and learning, so please have patience with the process.  Here is how it will work:

These parties will be similar to Tupperware or 31 Bag parties.  I will be the consultant and another gal will be the hostess.  She will be the one getting the benefits from the party since we are at her “house”.  I will make a WhatsApp group and set a time for the party to begin.  We will chat and learn from each other.  A few recipes will be shared.  I will post a link to my shop where you can place your orders.  After everyone’s order is in, I will place the order with my supplier and usually, within two weeks the spices will be in your hands.  Yes, that’s a while to wait, but if you are buying by the pound it is worth the wait.  You won’t need to order again for a good long while.  (Unless, like us, you eat a lot of tacos!!)

You are free to order spices any time you would like to, but I only put in a spice order every four to six weeks (or when someone books a party).  I do realize that this is not usually how online buying works, but to  keep spices fresh that is how I decided to try it.  As I learn what people want, I will begin stocking more to have on hand.  Everything on my shop that is marked as a Saffron & Sage Party Product will not be immediately available.  I will give you a ballpark figure of when they will be available when you order.  You can also message me for more information.  (715) 790-8956  There may be an odd time when my supplier is out of a product, but that is rare.  If that happens, I will contact you and you can choose a different spice or I will refund you.  If you are looking for a certain spice, let me know.  My supplier most likely has it and I can add it to my shop.

My spices are all from an organic facility.  I cannot make any claims to that as I am not certified.  They are gluten free, sugar free, filler free, MSG free, dye free, and free of any preservatives or stabilizers.  This natural state does lead to more clumping, which is totally normal, and does not harm the spice.

Interested in hosting a party? Message me and I will give you a few details about how it works, and what the benefits are for you as the hostess!
