As the name implies, the California poppy is native to California, although it is also found in Washington, Oregon, and New Mexico and is now naturalized in Australia, Argentina, and South Africa. Unlike some other members of the poppy family, the California poppy herb does not contain narcotic alkaloids. Various Native American peoples used the blossoms and pollen collected from the flowers to make skin and hair preparations. The seeds are still popular in cooking today and the leaf can be made into a tea blend, though some prefer the benefits through a California poppy tincture because of the grassy taste. Customers may buy California poppy in ¼ pound and full pound quantities on our website.
