Bay leaves are aromatic leaves from the bay laurel tree, celebrated in Mediterranean cuisine for their unique, pungent flavor. These glossy, deep green leaves are often used whole in soups, stews, and sauces, infusing dishes with a subtle depth. Rich in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, bay leaves may aid digestion and possess anti-inflammatory properties. However, they are not meant to be eaten whole, as they can be tough and sharp. So, enhance your culinary creations with bay leaves, and savor the essence of traditional cooking!
