Bay Leaves

Bay Leaves
Bay LeavesThere are two types of bay leaf — Mediterranean and Californian. The Mediterranean is milder in flavor. Bay leaves are usually used dry to reduce some of their bitterness. Commonly used in classic chicken soup, some compounds in bay leaves may help relieve upset stomachs [3].
Taste: Woody, sweet, citrusy, nutty
Perfect For: Soups, stews, and sautéed dishes.
Greatist Recipe Pick: Pop a leaf into this colorful beet and chickpea salad, but don’t forget to remove it before serving!
