Bay Leaf – 500g

Bay leaves are aromatic leaves harvested from the Laurus nobilis tree, a member of the laurel family. Known for their distinct fragrance and slightly bitter, herbal flavor, bay leaves are commonly used in cooking to infuse dishes with depth and complexity. The leaves are typically used whole and removed before serving, as they can be tough and sharp. Bay leaves are a staple in many cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Indian, and Latin American cooking, where they are added to soups, stews, sauces, and braises. In addition to their culinary uses, bay leaves have long been recognized for their potential health benefits. They contain antioxidants, essential oils, and compounds that may help support digestion, reduce inflammation, and promote relaxation. Bay leaves are also believed to have antimicrobial properties. Whether used in cooking or for their medicinal qualities, bay leaves offer both a distinctive flavor and a range of wellness benefits.
