BAY LEAF

Bay leaves, also called noble bay leaves, are aromatic leaves from the bay tree (Laurus nobilis). They are often used as culinary herbs for their distinctive scent and flavor. Bay leaves are typically used dried and added to dishes during cooking to infuse their flavor. They add a slightly bitter, herbaceous flavor to dishes, and they are often used in soups, stews, sauces, marinades and stews. It is important to note that bay leaves are typically used to flavor dishes, but they are not eaten themselves because they have a tough texture and can be unpleasant to eat.
