What is the difference between poppy seeds and sesame seeds?
assistant
Poppy seeds are tiny, blue-gray in color, and are extracted from the dried seed pod of the opium poppy plant. Sesame seeds are small, flat oval seeds with a nutty flavor and are most often found in a variety of cuisines. Poppy seeds are often used in cakes, cookies, and other baked goods, while sesame seeds are more commonly used as a seasoning or garnish in Middle Eastern, Asian, and Indian cuisine.
