EXPLORE THE VERSATILITY OF BAY LEAVES
Dried bay leaves are a pantry staple that adds depth and aroma to a variety of dishes. These leaves are harvested from the bay laurel tree (bay leaf tree) and carefully dried to preserve their flavor. Unlike fresh bay leaves, which have a milder taste, dried bay leaves boast a more concentrated and robust flavor profile.

Dried bay leaves good for use in soups, stews, sauces, and marinades, can be use as bay leaf teas where they release their essential oils and infuse the dish with their distinctive fragrance. They have a slightly bitter and earthy taste that complements a wide range of ingredients and spices.

To use dried bay leaves, they are typically added whole during cooking and removed before serving, as they can be tough and unpleasant to chew. It's important to remember that a little goes a long way with bay leaves, as their flavor can be overpowering if too many are used.
