Bay
Leaves 0.12oz
Bay Leaves come from the sweet bay or laurel tree, known botanically as
Laurus nobilis. The elliptical leaves of both trees are green, glossy, and grow
up to 3 inches long. Bay Leaves are grown in the Mediterranean region.
The Bay Leaf is useful in hearty, home-style cooking. When you are making
bean, split pea and vegetable soups, meat stews, spaghetti sauce, and chili, a
Bay leaf can be added for a more pungent flavor. Alternate whole Bay Leaves with
meat, seafood, or vegetables on skewers before cooking. Be sure to remove Bay
Leaves before eating a dish that has finished cooking. The whole leaves are used
to impart flavor only and are bitter and hard to chew.
