Fresh Bay Leaf - 10gm

A bay leaf is the aromatic leaf of the laurel tree, a simple ingredient that performs a small miracle in cooking. While you would never want to eat one whole due to its tough, sharp texture, gently simmering it in soups, stews, and sauces allows its complex essence to emerge—a subtle, herbal fragrance with hints of mint, clove, and pepper.

It works quietly in the background, never overpowering but adding a essential layer of depth that makes the entire dish taste more rounded and complete. It is the unsung hero of the spice cupboard.
