I love getting to try out ANY food related products, so yes poppy seeds. At first, I wasn't sure what I'd do with one pound of unwashed poppy seeds, but I soon found a multitude of recipes in which to use up a good portion right away. I started out making a nice little poppy seed cake with lemon frosting. My family loved it! Especially my toddler son, I think he enjoyed the fact that we were able to have it for breakfast. I also have made some poppy seed muffins since yesterday, and plan on making a few more batches to freeze for later. They've been great to send my husband off to school with. The poppy seeds themselves are fantastic! Full of not only flavor, but vitamins as well. I would highly recommend getting a bag for yourself and your home pantry.
Here are a few more ideas on how to use poppy seeds and their added health benefits, from their site:
