Poppy Seeds, Blue Dutch
$6.25 – $20.00
Poppy plants have been cultivated for more than 3,000 years. Although a product of the opium poppy, these tiny seeds don’t have narcotic side effects. (However, we have heard rumors that consuming an excessive amount of poppy seeds may cause failure of a drug test.)
Add a nutty, crunchy flavor to salad dressings, breads, rolls, cookies, cakes, and pastries or sprinkle on rice and noodle dishes for an additional layer of flavor and texture.

A slightly peppery member of the mint family, Basil is pleasantly sweet backed with a bit of spice. Pair with tomato, add to pizza or use with egg dishes, fish, poultry, and salads. Basil is also the main ingredient in pesto.
Parsley
$5.00 – $16.00Dedicated to the Greek goddess Persephone, parsley was valued for medicinal purposes and folk magic well before it was incorporated into European cuisine in the middle ages. Romans used it as a breath freshener and to prevent intoxication from wine.
Use it as edible garnish or add to stews, soups, sauces, dressings, eggs, potatoes and vegetables. Parsley is said to help prevent halitosis! [Parsley]
