The bay leaf is from the sweet laurel tree. It is used for culinary purposes due to its distinctive fragrance and taste. The leaves have a sharp and bitter taste, although we do not recommend eating them. The leaves are used more for their fragrance than for their taste. They are often used to flavor soups, stews, stews and pies in the Mediterranean kitchen. As such, regular inclusion of bay leaves in meals promotes general health and well-being.
