Last month as I casually walked through the countryside, I came face to face with fields upon fields of these alien headed pods. Trust me, you don't want to bump into too many of them as they really can throw a heavy punch! When the green pod is cut a milky like substance will ooze from it; and once this is dried out is where opium comes from, however inside each pod are hundreds of poppy seeds, which are not only edible, but can also help you grow your own little crop. So, hopefully I will have more on my first home grown poppy patch over the next year.
