Description

A bay leaf can be used in its fresh or dehydrated form. They contain substances like tannins, flavonoids, alkaloids, linalol, eugenol, methyl chavicol and anthocyanins, which have anti-inflammatory, diuretic, antioxidant, digestive and anti-rheumatic properties.

Bay leaves are a standard cooking ingredient in many savory dishes. Although available fresh, dried bay leaves are typically easier to find.

They’re used to flavor soups, stews, and sauces — just remove them prior to serving because they have a bitter taste.

This herb, Laurus nobilis, comes from the evergreen bay laurel family, which is native to the Mediterranean. The two most common types are Turkish, with long oval leaves, and Californian, with long narrow leaves.

Throughout history, bay leaves have been used in many different ways for possible health benefits.
