Can I grow poppy flowers from the seeds used to cook?

I have extra little cans of poppy seeds to use in recipes, and I was wondering if they will grow if I plant them.

Can I grow poppy flowers from the seeds used to cook?
Poppy seeds for cooking/baking have been roasted, usually so they aren't likely to germinate.

Reply:The poppy seeds used for cooking may have been treated in some way that will ruin their potential to sprout - such as heat treatment. They may also be very old, and seeds loose their ability to germinate as they age. Overall, they're likely to be very dried out, and not so good for becoming plants.





I'd buy some fresh seeds, then you can choose the color that you like, as well as types that are appropriate for your locality etc. There are some wonderful annual poppies that can be sown now in the northern hemisphere, ready for tons of color this summer. http://www.tmseeds.com/product/4613.html
