Bay Leaves, Turkish, Organic
Bay leaves are also known as laurel leaves or bay laurels and come from a tree native to the eastern Mediterranean. The flavor of bay is best brought out by slow cooking, which makes them useful in stocks, soups, roasts, stews and marinades as well as pickling and brining.

Bay leaves are native to the eastern Mediterranean.

Bay leaves are essential to all gumbos, boiling shrimp and great marinara sauces. Usually 2-3 leaves are plenty (too many can make a dish bitter) in a dish serving 4 to 6 people. Generally, the leaves are removed before serving. We carry both organic powdered bay leaves and whole bay leaves. We also carry organic California bay leaves.

Bay leaves were used to make up crowns for poets and victorious athletes in antiquity.
