Description

A bay leaf is a fragrant and aromatic herb commonly used in cooking to enhance the flavor of various dishes. It comes from the bay laurel tree and has a deep green color with a shiny appearance.

While not typically eaten, a single bay leaf is often added to soups, stews, sauces, and other slow-cooked dishes to infuse a subtle and earthy flavor.

Bay leaves are known for their ability to add depth and complexity to recipes, and they are usually removed before serving due to their tough texture.
