Poppy Seeds! A typical serving contains 2 to 3 percent of your daily required zinc, which all of your organ systems, especially your immune system, need in varying degrees. That same serving also contains 4 percent of your daily required calcium and iron, which your body needs to make healthy blood cells and bones. These minerals are also vital for your nervous system’s ability to send messages back and forth. Poppy seeds are also rich in B vitamins, which are also important to your whole body.
