They are used to top creamed potatoes and au gratin dishes, and sometimes appear in fish dishes. The nutritional value of poppy seeds lies mostly in the amount of protein, calcium, carbohydrates and minerals they contain.

As for the minerals, they include the most important kinds, such as potassium, phosphorous, magnesium and sodium.
