DESCRIPTION:

The bay tree belongs to the laurel family (Lauraceae) and generally grows in Mediterranean climate regions. Its leaves, commonly referred to as bay leaves, are the most commonly used part of this plant. Bay leaves typically have a glossy, leathery texture and are usually dark green, long, and oval-shaped. Their taste can vary between mild bitterness and sweetness.

Bay leaves are commonly used in meat dishes, soups, sauces, and pickled preserves. A few leaves are usually added to the dish and impart their flavor during cooking. However, they are typically removed before serving as they are not meant to be eaten directly.

Bay leaves possess an aromatic quality due to the essential oils they contain. These essential oils contribute to the distinctive flavor and aroma of bay leaves.
