About
Bay leaves, commonly referred to as the herb bay leaf, are aromatic leaves from the bay laurel tree, native to the Mediterranean region. This herb is widely used in cooking to impart a distinct flavour to dishes such as soups, stews, and sauces. While bay leaves are often associated with culinary uses, they have also been traditionally used for their potential health benefits. However, it's important to use bay leaves in moderation and be aware that they should not be consumed directly due to their rigid texture. As always, it's advisable to consult with healthcare professionals for personalised guidance on health concerns.
