My first thought was poppy seeds too.. I just got some to try. Got a big 16oz bag at Safeway for $2.25..I also got some apricot shell powder and apricot seed meal from Oregon Trails, it was pretty cheap too. I have yet to try it (it's on my to do list ).. I got some ground vanilla bean from MMS and it looks very fine to me, not sure how abrasive it will be.... I just recently made OMH soap and put some ground oatmeal in there and it's really nice. I was worried that it would be to scratchy, but it wasn't, it is just the right amount of scratchy-ness...lol Love it! Oh, and you can get dried orange peel in the spice section. I have a bottle of "spice islands" orange peels.. I'd be happy to send you a bit if you want to try any of the above.. Let me know..:smiley2: Sharon
