The history of poppy seeds is as rich as their nutty flavor. Dating back to 2700 BC in the Mediterranean, people prized poppy seeds for their mild, soothing properties. By the 1700s, the lemon and poppy seed pairing debuted in Central Europe as a wedding dessert, evolving from a loaf of sweet, dense bread to the beloved cakes and cookies we know today. In the United States, this classic combination evokes nostalgia with its perfect balance of bright, zesty lemon and the gentle crunch of poppy seeds.
Our Lemon Poppy Seed ice cream takes this timeless duo into the non-dairy realm with a refreshing, plant-based twist. This vegan delight, crafted with creamy coconut milk and coconut cream, delivers a luscious texture that rivals traditional dairy-based ice creams. Tart, vibrant lemon shines in every bite, perfectly complemented by the delicate nuttiness of poppy seeds, creating an invigorating and comforting flavor profile.
This flavor holds a Gold Award from the 2023 SoFi Specialty Food Association Awards in the Plant-Based Milk category. Winners are chosen through blind tasting and showcase the food and beverage industry's creativity, innovation, and culinary excellence.
