Dom Duarte Bay Leaf 7g

In cooking, bay leaves are commonly used in dishes such as soups, sauces, stews, roasts, marinades, and preserves. They are usually added during cooking to release their characteristic flavor and aroma. However, it's important to remember that bay leaves are very intense, so usually only one or two leaves are added to dishes, being removed before serving.

Besides its culinary uses, bay leaves also have medicinal properties. They contain compounds such as cineole, eugenol, and tannins, which give them antiseptic, anti-inflammatory, and digestive properties. Drinking bay leaf tea is believed to aid digestion, relieve stomach pain, and improve respiratory health.
