Bay Leaves, Whole

Green to brownish-green in color, bay leaves are sweet with a lemon clove note offering a warm and slightly pungent flavor.

Bay leaves are often added to any dish that simmers for a long time - think soups, stews, and curries. They lend a subtle addition that allows for the other herbs and spices to truly pop and shine. Dried bay leaves give a slightly minty, woody taste and aroma and an astringency that makes heavy dishes slightly lighter on the palate.
