Bay Leaves, Whole Turkish
The bay tree, native to the Mediterranean, is a small, shrublike evergreen with aromatic leaves. Dried bay is available whole to flavor soups and stews) or ground for stocks and marinades). Bay leaves are used primarily to flavor soups and stews, especially fish stews and gumbo. The flavor of bay is subtle, but helps blend other herb/spice flavors. We stock both Turkish and California whole bay leaves. California leaves are a beautiful, deep green color and of uniform size, making them perfect for crafts. The flavor, however, is about the same as the Turkish, so for cooking, stick with the Turkish.
Usage: Perfect for flavoring stews, chili and spaghetti sauces.
