Historical Macedonian Papaver Somniferum: The Poppy Seed as Part of Local Macedonian Cuisine
Historical Macedonian Papaver Somniferum: The Poppy Seed as Part of Local Macedonian Cuisine
November will be recognized as a
month dedicated to twenty new local heroes who are committed to creating unique
local foods that you've never tasted before.
One such hero is Robert, who is
producing and selling products in Macedonia, including butter, oil, protein
powder, and soaps—all made from opium poppy.
As previously mentioned, our team
will focus the month of November on celebrating these twenty local heroes. Each
story will begin with the words: "Macedonia has a lot of food, but not all
of it is famous and well-known to the public."
Robert's work exemplifies this, as
he transforms unique poppy seeds into products that everyone can use. This is
something we should take pride in as Macedonians, and we should give him our
full support.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that
he spent his childhood running through poppy fields, growing and learning along
the way. Watching and learning from his grandparents and later from his
parents, Robert recalls the process of transforming those seeds into usable
products. The traditional methods, such as crushing the seeds with a small tool
he calls a “Dibek,” have inspired him to create a new culinary narrative today.
He developed his passion for poppy
seeds in the seventies when he had the opportunity to learn the craft. Today,
that passion has evolved into a brand that utilizes modern technology for
processing poppy seeds. He works alongside his son, to whom he has successfully
passed down this craft.
For the second consecutive year,
Robert has been educating his customers who purchase products about the health
benefits of poppy seed oil, butter, protein, and soap.
Robert
recommends starting your day with a teaspoon of pure, natural poppy seed butter
that contains no additives. He invites anyone who is interested to observe the
butter production process, where they can see the healthy ingredients used and
appreciate the purity of the natural foods that make up the products.
Robert's workshop is located in
Radisani, a neighbourhood of Skopje. He is a passionate lover and collector of
various historical objects, which enhance the iconic appearance of his shop.
Currently, products are sold through delivery, and in the future, they will
also be available at the kajak.mk grocery store.
