Adding to my own post, the grinder is adjustable, so that you can merely
crack them or you can grind them very fine. I use them finely ground when
I make poppy seed rolls. The rolls I'm talking about are not dinner rolls,
but the ones where the dough is rolled out flat, spread with the poppy seed
filling, then rolled up like a jelly roll. The filling contains the ground
poppy seed, sugar, honey, milk, and sometimes I add a few white raisins.
