About Hoja de laurel

Hoja de laurel, commonly known as bay leaf, is an aromatic herb derived from the Laurus nobilis tree, native to the Mediterranean region. These dried leaves are widely used in global cuisines, particularly in soups, stews, marinades, and sauces, to impart a subtle, earthy flavor. Rich in essential oils such as eugenol and cineole, bay leaves boast antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties, making them a natural aid for promoting gut health and reducing oxidative stress. They are also a source of vitamins A and C, as well as minerals like iron and calcium. While bay leaves are typically removed before serving dishes due to their tough texture, their essential compounds enhance overall nutritional profiles. However, they should not be consumed directly due to their potential to cause choking or digestive irritation. In moderation, hoja de laurel can enhance both the taste and healthfulness of meals.
