PAPAVERI
VARIETÀ DI PAPAVERO
Questo papavero, tipico dei campi, è detto ROSOLACCIO, dal suo nome botanico PAPAVER RHOEAS.
Esiste poi il PAPAVER ORIENTALIS che è il più usato nelle bordure e nel giardinaggio in generale. Di questo sono stati creati parecchi ibridi e modificazioni per cui si possono vedere papaveri rosa, bianchi, screziati...
Poi c'è il PAPAVERO DA OPPIO o PAPAVER SOMNIFERUM, di cui si utilizza il lattice presente nelle capsule.
Esiste poi il PAPAVERO DA SEMI o PAPAVER SETIGERUM. Non ha proprietà oppiacee e si usa per la produzione di semi e l'estrazione di olio (olio usato soprattutto nella produzione dolciaria dell'Europa centro-orientale).
Esistono anche un PAPAVER ATLANTICUS, giallo o rosso mattone, tipico delle zone nord europee, e il PAPAVER ALPINUM, bianco o giallo, che cresce nella zona delle Alpi.
USI DEL PAPAVERO
Il papavero può essere consumato in cucina, oltre al papavero da oppio le altre tipologie non presentano elevate quantità di sostanze stupefacenti.
I SEMI si usano mischiati con alcune farine per fare pane e torte. Oppure sono buoni da abbinare a miele, formaggi, yogurt e frullati.
I PETALI vengono usati per decorare le insalate. Oppure cotti per minestre, torte salate, sformati e ripieni.

CURIOSITÀ
Il termine “papavero”, come sinonimo di persona potente, è da ricondurre alla leggenda secondo la quale il Re di Roma Tarquinio il Superbo andò in giardino e con un colpo di bastone recise le teste di tutti i papaveri per far capire al figlio che bisognava eliminare tutti i personaggi più potenti della città di Gabi, avversaria di Roma, per poter vincere la battaglia.
