BAY LEAF

What is bay leaf?
Bay leaf, popular all over the world, is a herbal raw material obtained from a plant aptly named laurel [Latin. Laurus nobilis]. In ancient times, it was widely believed that the laurel protects against deities responsible for lightning and thunder. It is for this reason that Emperor Tiberius always wore a laurel wreath during a storm.
Bay leaves are widely used in culinary arts as a spice. Well dried, they have a light green color and a very aromatic smell.
