Escalating Health Benefits of Poppy Seeds Driving the Market

Poppy Seeds are famous for providing a considerable amount of linoleic acid, which is an omega-6 fatty acid. A healthy balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is highly recommended to maintain heart health. The seeds also contain large amounts of iron and phosphorous, minerals that are essential for the maintenance of both muscles and bones. The abundance of copper and iron in poppy seeds improves red blood cell formation, which helps in the prevention of anemia and other blood-related conditions. Taking a teaspoon of poppy seed oil before going to bed has been observed to help ease the symptoms of insomnia by promoting relaxation.

Europe dominates the market

The main producer of poppy seeds in Europe is the Czech Republic, which accounted for 40% of total European production in 2017. The direct consumption of these oilseeds in Europe is increasing, driven by the health and wellness trend and growth in fine foods. Consumers are also seeking protein alternatives, opening opportunities for innovative products and new players. The Czech Republic is the leading producer of poppy seeds, with 31% of global poppy seeds production. The poppy seed crop grown in the Czech Republic is mainly produced for exports because the domestic consumption consists of only between 4 and 5 thousand metric tons. Major export markets of the Czech poppy seeds are European countries with a population of Slavic origin or those influenced by Slavic cuisine. The reason behind the popularity of poppy seeds in the Czech Republic lies in the local cuisine that favors their wide usage of them. The Czech put poppy seeds into almost all of their dishes, including cakes, noodles, and dumplings. The major importers of the Czech Republican poppy seeds are Russian Federation, Austria, Poland, German, and Slovakia. Russian Federation is the largest importer of the Czech Republican poppy seeds, followed by Austria and Poland.
