Poppy seeds have long been a familiar part of Central European cuisine. It is added to pastries, desserts, cereals and other dishes, but the nutritional value of this product is much wider than the usual culinary use. Mac contains calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, plant protein, fiber, unsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E.

In addition to calcium, poppies are a source of magnesium, phosphorus, manganese, copper, iron, and zinc. These micronutrients perform various functions in the body. In particular, magnesium is involved in the work of many enzymes, and copper and iron are necessary for normal hematopoiesis.

Poppy seeds also contain vegetable protein and dietary fiber. Fiber promotes normal digestion and may keep you feeling full for longer. At the same time, in people with a sensitive digestive system, large amounts of poppy may cause bloating or discomfort.

Details

Another important feature of the product is the significant fat content, mainly unsaturated fatty acids. This is especially true when combined with sugar, honey, butter, or other energetically dense ingredients in baked goods and desserts.

Context

One of the main features of poppy seeds is their high calcium content. That is why it is often mentioned in the context of maintaining healthy bones and teeth. At the same time, maca itself cannot be considered a means of preventing or treating osteoporosis, because the condition of bone tissue also depends on vitamin D, sufficient protein intake, physical activity and other nutrients.
