Nature’s Gift Dried Bay Leaves

Dried Bay Leaves are aromatic leaves from the bay laurel tree, commonly used in cooking to enhance the flavor of a variety of dishes. They have a strong, earthy flavor with hints of mint, eucalyptus, and pine. Typically used in whole form, bay leaves are added to soups, stews, sauces, and braises during cooking and are removed before serving, as they are not meant to be eaten. They can also be used in marinades, pickling, and rice dishes for an extra layer of complexity. Dried bay leaves retain their flavor well, making them a staple in many Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines.
