Bay Leaves (1 oz) are whole, dried leaves from the laurel tree, prized for their earthy aroma and slightly bitter, herbal flavor. Commonly used in slow-cooked dishes like soups, stews, sauces, and braises, they infuse depth without overpowering. Just one leaf can elevate a pot of broth or rice. Carefully dried for maximum potency, they’re a staple for any kitchen seeking classic, aromatic flavor.
