Dried Bay Leaves are aromatic, evergreen leaves from the Laurus nobilis tree, commonly used in cooking to enhance the flavor of various dishes. These leaves have a strong, distinctive fragrance with hints of herbal, slightly floral, and spicy notes. When added to soups, stews, sauces, and marinades, bay leaves release their essential oils, infusing the food with a subtle, savory depth. Typically, they are used whole and removed before serving, as they are tough and not meant to be eaten directly.
Bay leaves have also been prized in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, such as aiding digestion and having anti-inflammatory properties. The dried form retains the robust flavor and is a pantry staple for anyone who enjoys cooking flavorful, aromatic meals.
