    I make an excellent Korma that calls for white poppy seeds. I just leave out of the dish as I cannot find anywhere (Cork). Tried the regular black ones but they look terrible in the sauce. Anyone ever see white poppy seeds anywhere?

    Have you tried a health food store?

    nope - would never have thought to look in a health food store. Do white poppy seeds have medicinal purposes?

    Probably a very tenuous one at best. But 'health food' stores usually have a good stock of all manner of seeds.

    I don't think they have any medicinal benefits, but seeds are used by the health-conscious as a good way of getting extra fibre into one's diet. I'd say that would be the best place to try first. Alternatively, an Asian store (particularly one of an Indian/Persian leaning).
