Herbs BAY LEAVES

Bay leaves are aromatic leaves from the bay laurel tree, widely used in culinary applications to enhance the depth of flavor in various dishes. When dried, they release a subtle, slightly minty, and peppery aroma that pairs well with meats, broths, and vegetable-based dishes. The leaves are typically used whole and removed before serving, as they are tough and not meant to be eaten directly. Apart from their culinary uses, bay leaves are also valued for their medicinal properties, often used in teas and herbal remedies.
