poppyseed (plural poppyseeds)

  1. The seed of the poppy, used as a flavouring in bread.
    • 1988, David Quammen, The Flight of the Iguana:
      These [spiders] in my office were newborn babies. A hundred scuttering bambinos, each one no bigger than a poppyseed. Too small still for red hourglasses, too small even for red egg timers.
