Is it safe to eat food with ‘kaskas’?  -  low calorie dishes at indian restaurants
Kuala Lumpur: Is it safe to eat dishes with kaskas ingredients such as curry meat and stew?
According to the Ministry of Agriculture Deputy Director introduced
General I Datuk Sofian Mohd Salleh, kaskas is the poppy seed, excessive use of this ingredient in any dish can lead to hallucination and addiction.
"The latex of the poppy flower is used to produce opium," he noted . ".
Opium could be further processed into morphine and heroin, he added.
Scientific research has shown that dishes containing poppy seeds can allow consumers to test positive for opium preparations.
According to Sofian, poppy seeds on the local market are imported from several countries, including India, because Malaysia's climate is not suitable for opium poppy cultivation.
"Moreover, it is illegal to plant opium poppy in the country.
"The use of poppy seeds has recently become a hot topic, as members of Jasin Datuk Mohd said last week that Indian Muslim restaurants used poppy seeds in their dishes, causing customers to become addicted to their food.
Dr. Mohamed Abdul Majid, botanist at the University of Malaya, said that poppy seeds do not have an anesthetic effect because opium
The liquid produced in the bud only exists before the seed is fully formed.
"Opium is a dry latex for immature seed capsules.
Poppy seeds from mature seeds do not contain narcotic chemicals, "said Dr. Mohammed, who is also the dean of the University's School of Science.
It is safe to eat poppy seeds, he said, because it has a very low content of the alkali-50 parts per million.
"To get higher, people have to consume at least 1 kg of poppy seeds, but that is unlikely because of the large number of poppy seeds," he added . ".
However, Dr. Mohammed said that morphine could still be detected in the urine after eating a large amount of poppy seeds.
He said that there has been no experimental evidence so far that the consumption of poppy seeds can lead to addiction.
Poppy seeds are mainly used to produce edible oil, and can also be used to make baked products such as bagels and muffins, as a thickening agent in curry and sauce, or as a seasoning.
