Dried Bay Leaves Premium Quality for Cooking Wholesale Price

Product Features  

Bay leaves are aromatic spices derived from the evergreen Laurus nobilis (sweet bay tree). Fresh leaves have a glossy dark green appearance and mild earthy aroma, while dried leaves turn brownish-green with a concentrated, slightly bitter flavor accented by mint and clove notes. Their tough, leathery texture means they are not edible directly and are typically removed before serving. Dried bay leaves are the most widely used form, as drying enhances flavor retention and extends shelf life.  

Product Uses  

Bay leaves are a versatile ingredient in global cuisines. They are added to soups, stews, and sauces (e.g., marinara, béchamel) early in cooking to release slow, deep flavors. They are integral to rice dishes like paella and biryani, pickling brines, and meat braises. Additionally, bay leaves are a core component of classic spice blends such as bouquet garni (paired with thyme and parsley) and are occasionally included in garam masala for South Asian cuisine.
