I've been purchasing this product exclusively from Honeyville for a long time now and in all honesty it has mostly been due to having very competitive pricing and very inexpensive shipping. Unlike the previous reviewer however I found these (Brown and White Bakesense) to be much better then the white bag with the blue on it. Dirtier and quite unprocessed in my finding (Which is just what I look for in hopes of obtaining a much "fuller" flavor) even though the seeds themselves seem somewhat "drier". Tasty and a much improved product over the last one. While I would always be happy with even better I'm very happy with the change thus far. I just don't see the "processing" that was stated in the previous review.

I own a bakery and use about 50 pounds of poppy seeds a week. The other day I received a brown bag from Turkey marked blue seeds. They are terible and flavorless. I have never had reason to complain until now. Please go back to the old suppliers because my customers are complaining about taste. The best where from Bakesense.

I've ordered from this company for about 18 months now. I've seen blue labels on white bags brown bags white bags with written labels come through. I've always been pleased. My disappointment came today from a shipment that arrived Monday. Two days ago I made lemon muffins and I thought they tasted off but I've been fighting a cold and I assumed it was me. This morning I made Mohn which has a pretty concentrated use of poppy seeds given the size of the recipe and I'm sorry to say the taste is terrible. I don't know what I'm going to do with the rest of this order. We can't use it for most of the recipes. This label specifically read Gel Spice Premium Blue Poppy. It's a blue label on a white bag. I have to agree that the plain brown bag is by far their best and produces the best items but most customers don't notice the difference. Unfortunately this is unmistakable and disappointing. switch back! I'll give 5 stars to the brown bag 4 to the plain white and 1 star to this most recent blue stripe on white.

I agree with the posters about the old brown bag seeds. I have stopped ordering from this place after they switched the seeds. The old ones had so much a better flavor and my customers noticed a difference when using these new ones. I am writing this review in hopes that they would once again purchase the seeds from where they use to because you have lost a loyal customer.

Just would like to give my opinion on whoever your new supplier is for these poppy seads. As a baker that makes a lot of different breads as well as pasteries these new ones in the white bag that just came on 12/17 on my doorstep just do not have that robust flavor I am looking for as the previous ones that came in the brown bag. I dont know if that is just because they are washed more or just a different kind of poppies but i will not be orderig these 50lb bags from you again until I am aware you are purchasing from your previous supplier...Thanks though but just not worth my money.

Posts like these on THIS website is the very reason you have nicely cleaned seeds. Blame yourselves. I for one was happy without saying anything!

I've ordered several times and never get consistency. More often than not they arrive overly cleaned and not as flavorful. Once my shipment tasted overwhelmingly raw as if they hadn't been washed at all my favorite taste. Occasionally they are delicious and have that flavor we all look for or at least near enough but not always. What keeps me coming back is the price and shipping which are great. But overall consistency of an A+ seed is not always what you'll get.

The seed sin the brown bag were great and then ANOTHER switch to a different supplier/brand? Anyways the seeds in the new white bag with the blue stripe across that reads blue poppy seed etc in white letters are very bad. Why the switch again?!Anyways half my order was the white bags which the seed is EXTREMELY inferior and boarderline valueless.

I decided to give these seeds a try because at this price point and especially considering the outstanding shipping price no other vendor can compete. That being said either John S. is a fibber or Benjamin White and me are both crazy. Either way I ended up with very well washed seeds 100lb worth.
