Native poppies conquered Vorpommern's bakeries - a pleasure from the region!

In the charming Region of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, things are progressing-in the bakery. Here Anthoni Jeschke, a farmer from Neustrelitz, has revived the dining engraving cultivation.

The Vorpommeran bakers Elisabeth Kurzweg and Nicole Reichau, who work in Pasewalk and Grambin, also use Jeschke's products.

They also switched to locally produced poppies and appreciate the short delivery routes and the opportunity to do without middlemen. Nordkurier reports that the taste difference to imported poppies is not great.

The poppy seed capsules are harvested with a combine harvester and cleaned in Saxony. A specialized entrepreneur is used who ensures that the quality remains high. Jeschke admits that he still has to remove red gossip poppies by hand before harvesting-a real hands-on job!
