Bay Leaf Cut & Sifted - 1 lb

Laurus nobilis  -  Country: Turkey

Bay leaf refers to the aromatic leaves of the bay laurel tree (Laurus nobilis). These leaves have a robust flavor and fragrance, often described as herbal with hints of floral and slightly bitter notes. Bay leaves are used whole or ground in cooking to add depth and complexity to dishes such as soups, stews, sauces, and marinades. They are typically added during cooking and removed before serving due to their tough texture. Bay leaves are prized for their ability to enhance flavors and are a staple in Mediterranean, Indian, and Caribbean cuisines.
