Poppy Seeds

Do not waste your time. Its just flavorless and awful

Whatever they have started doing to treat these seeds has rendered them useless for adding any real flavor to my recipes.

I have bought a couple of 50 pound bags of poppy seeds from Honeyville in the past that I shared with my family and close friends. I try to use only organic food products free of chemicals. From reading the comments and seeing PST or P S T inserted into comment reviews, my guess it is code for Poppy Seed Tea. I am trying to find out what chemicals, if any, are used to wash the seeds. You idiot PST dopers ruined it for yourselves and also us who bake poppy seed rolls. You should have kept that information to yourself. The DEA probably read these comments and also on the various drug forums. More than likely, the DEA is making sure that only washed seeds are now sold. Honeyville is not to blame, you PST dopers are. I gave the current poppy seeds a "1" because I have not bought any of the current poppy seeds but past poppy seed purchases were a solid 5. I will contact Honeyville by email or phone to find out how the seeds are washed. BTW, I do rinse my poppy seeds in water before I make my poppy seed roll filling or bread spread.

14 1 star reviews in a row and you can add mine in for # 15! These seeds are just pathetic! I couldn't believe it when I opened the bag. That smell! That horrible smell! All the previous reviews are right these are the exact same seeds as the ones that came from turkey! Completely over processed and washed of any flavor! Total waste of money! I loved the Bake Sense seeds also! Honeyville listen to what your customers want! We want Bakesense seeds! What's so hard about that! Stop wasting our time and money! Stop wasting your money and business! Buy Bakesense seeds and everyone wins!

The new poppy seeds are total garbage! Completely overprocessed and nasty. The other reviews are correct! These spanish seeds are a COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY! I also agree with the previous reviewers BRING BAKE THE BAKESENSE SEEDS! They are by far the best seeds you have carried. I don't care if the cost is more i'd rather pay more for a GOOD product then order this garbage!

I'd give this product ZERO STARS if I could!!!! My husband purchased me a 50 LB bag of poppy seeds. They had been out of stock since all of the poor reviews from the seeds from Turkey. The seeds arrived in a plain brown bag marked from Spain. As soon as I opened the bag and I could smell that nasty smell I knew it was $108.00 dollars wasted. These seeds look smell and taste just like the seeds from Turkey. I decided to do a test batch to confirm my suspicion and it was right. Bread tasted awful you would have been better off eating cardboard! DO NOT WASTE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON THIS NASTY OVER PROCESSED SEED!!! PLEASE BRING BAKE SENSE POPPY SEEDS BACK!!! OF ALL THE POPPY SEEDS WE HAVE ORDERED BAKE SENSE WERE THE BEST!!!

The poppy seeds are back after complaints of taste and quality. Unfortunately the new seeds don't seem to be of any better quality. I agree with previous reviews that the "Bakesense" seeds were indeed the best but just about anything would be a step up from the old Turkish and new Spanish seeds.

So I waited a month until they brought the 50lb bag of poppy seeds back online. I was thinking that after all that was said about the terrible bags from turkey (including my review) that they couldn't possibly order in anything other then a good quality unprocessed seed. BOY WAS I WRONG!!!!!I even called before I ordered to ask where these seeds came from and the nice lady said Spain. So I assumed it was the old seeds that we all used to get. NO WAY!!!! These seeds are absolute garbage. Repulsive taste and smell extremely washed and just useless. It honestly looks like they just re bagged the seeds from Turkey. I just cant figure out why they are having such an issue bringing in good quality seed. JUST BRING BACK BAKE SENSE SEEDS!!!!! Get some one to inspect the seeds before you make a large purchase. it isn't hard to tell good seed from bad. Get it together Honeyville you were my go to store now here I am disappointed again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Latest bags are pure crap previous reviewer is correct super washed dried and nasty. Bring back BakeSense at least...at least they were un-molested and had a nice full flavor.
