Dutch Blue

A tier

Dutch blue is a quality trade class of blue poppy seed associated with Dutch production and cleaning standards—uniform colour, high oil, and bakery reliability. The name signals grade and origin reputation more than a unique species. Preferred by European pastry chefs for fillings that must taste cleanly nutty. Store cool; Dutch blue still goes rancid if neglected. Excellent on soft pretzels and in lemon-poppy loaf.
