White Poppy Seeds are sourced from premium-grade crops cultivated under controlled farming practices to ensure purity, uniform grain size, and clean natural color. Known for their mild nutty flavor and high oil content, these seeds are widely used in bakery, confectionery, spice blends, and food manufacturing. Each batch is thoroughly cleaned, sorted, and tested to meet strict export specifications, ensuring safety, consistency, and long-term supply reliability for international buyers.
We provide fully machine-cleaned seeds free from dust and impurities, ensuring stable quality for industrial food applications and premium retail markets.

While both belong to the Papaver somniferum species, White Poppy Seeds (also known as “Posta” or “Ivory Poppy”) have a milder, more delicate nutty flavor compared to the more intense Blue variety. Technically, white seeds are preferred in Asian and Middle Eastern cuisines as a thickening agent for sauces and in light-colored confectionery where blue specks are undesirable. In industrial baking, white seeds provide a distinct aesthetic and a softer crunch profile.
For international B2B trade, purity is the most critical metric. DITCO provides White Poppy Seeds with a purity level of 99.9% or higher. Our seeds undergo a rigorous multi-stage mechanical cleaning process, including air-suction, vibration sifting, and advanced optical color sorting. This ensures the removal of all foreign matter, dust, and “off-color” seeds, providing a uniform, premium ivory-white appearance essential for high-end retail packaging.
Poppy seeds naturally contain trace amounts of opium alkaloids (morphine and codeine). DITCO complies with EU Regulation 2021/2142, which sets strict maximum levels for these alkaloids in poppy seeds intended for the final consumer. Our seeds are harvested from varieties specifically selected for low-alkaloid profiles and undergo thorough cleaning and processing (such as washing and heat treatment) to ensure they are well within the safety limits for food production and export.
White poppy seeds are highly valued for their oil density. Our technical specifications usually guarantee a fixed oil content of 45% to 50%, making them an excellent raw material for cold-pressed poppy seed oil production. The moisture content is strictly kept below 9% to prevent rancidity and ensure microbiological stability during long-distance maritime transit. A full Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided for every batch to verify these parameters.
Yes. Due to their high concentration of linoleic acid (Omega-6) and oleic acid, our white poppy seeds are widely used by industrial oil crushers. The resulting oil is prized in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries for its emollient properties. Because we maintain a low-heat processing environment during cleaning, the chemical integrity of the fatty acids remains intact, ensuring a high-quality yield for extraction purposes.
Because of their high oil content, poppy seeds are sensitive to oxidation. DITCO typically packs White Poppy Seeds in 25 kg or 50 kg multi-wall kraft paper bags with food-grade polyethylene liners to block light and moisture. For bulk shipments, we recommend storage in a cool (below 15°C), dry, and dark environment. Under these conditions, the seeds maintain a shelf life of 18 to 24 months without losing their flavor profile or developing bitterness.
