Botanical Name: Laurus nobilis
Country of Origin: India
Also Known As: Bay Leaves Whole, Laurus nobilis Leaf, Sweet Bay Leaf
Part Used: Dried leaves of Laurus nobilis
Description: Bay Leaves Whole are produced from the dried leaves of Laurus nobilis, an evergreen tree native to the Mediterranean region. The leaves are harvested when fully matured, cleaned to remove natural debris, and dried using controlled methods to preserve their natural green colour and characteristic aroma. The dried leaves are kept intact, maintaining their lance-shaped structure and slightly leathery texture, making them a versatile ingredient for culinary and craft applications.
Laurus nobilis forms glossy, lance-shaped leaves on a slow-growing evergreen tree, with mature leaves that are commonly used in cooking and botanical projects. Once dried, the leaves retain their aromatic properties and structure, making them suitable for visual, culinary, and creative uses.
Fresh leaves are collected during the growing season, cleaned to remove any field residue, and dried at low temperatures to maintain integrity and reduce moisture.
Uses: Bay Leaves Whole are used in culinary preparations such as soups, stews, sauces, marinades, pickling mixes, and braises, where the intact leaf contributes flavour during cooking. They can also be included in spice sachets, potpourri, decorative jar displays, and other botanical craft projects.
The intact leaf structure makes them suitable for applications requiring whole plant material.
Storage: Fresh bay leaves can be placed in a sealed zip-top bag and stored in the refrigerator where they will last for a week or two. Dried bay leaves can be stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry, and dark spot
