Bay leaf
Bay leaf is a herb that comes from the bay laurel tree, known for its aromatic and flavourful leaves. These leaves are commonly used in cooking to add a subtle but distinct taste to various dishes.
To produce bay leaf, the leaves of the bay laurel tree are harvested and dried before being packaged for sale. The drying process helps to intensify the flavour and aroma of the leaves, making them ready to enhance the taste of soups, stews, sauces, and other recipes.
Bay leaf appears on food labels because it adds a unique flavour profile to dishes, giving them a rich and aromatic taste. You can find bay leaf in dishes like soups, curries, and braised meats, where its earthy and slightly floral taste can elevate the overall flavour experience. Additionally, bay leaf is often used in pickling and marinades to infuse a subtle hint of complexity into the food.
