Botanical Name: Laurus nobilis
Country of Origin: India
Also Known As: Bay Leaf Powder, Laurus nobilis Leaf Powder, Ground Bay Leaves
Part Used: Dried leaves of Laurus nobilis, finely milled
Description: Bay Leaves Powder is made from the dried leaves of Laurus nobilis, an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. The leaves are harvested at maturity, cleaned, and carefully dried to preserve their natural colour and aromatic properties. The dried leaves are then finely milled into a smooth, uniform powder, creating a versatile botanical ingredient with a warm, herbaceous aroma typical of bay leaves.
Laurus nobilis produces glossy, lance-shaped leaves that are commonly used in culinary and craft applications. Once dried and powdered, the material retains the visual and aromatic characteristics of the original leaves, making it suitable for both kitchen use and creative projects.
The leaves are collected during the growing season, cleaned to remove natural field debris, and dried using controlled methods to reduce moisture content while maintaining their natural appearance. After drying, the leaves are ground and sifted to ensure consistency and a fine texture.
Uses: Bay Leaves Powder is used primarily in culinary applications where a natural herb flavour is desired. It can be incorporated into soups, stews, sauces, spice blends, marinades, and baked preparations to provide a subtle herbal note. The powder also works well in spice mixes and dry seasoning formulations.
In botanical craft and cosmetic applications, it may be used for natural colouring, aromatic projects, and decorative preparations that benefit from finely milled leaf material.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark place in an airtight container. Refrigeration not required.
