McCormick Whole Bay Leaves have a distinctively strong, aromatic, spicy flavor. Bay Leaves have a pleasant, slightly minty menthol aroma. The elliptically shaped leaves are light green in color and brittle when dried. Bay Leaves are the dried leaves of the evergreen tree, Laurus nobilis. Frequently referred to as "laurel leaves", bay leaves is the most common name.
Bay Leaves are indispensable in the kitchen. One or two whole bay leaves are usually enough as the flavor strength increases with the amount used and the cooking time. Ground Bay Leaves are not interchangeable with Whole Bay Leaves in a recipe as the whole leaves are removed when cooking is completed; the ground product can not be removed and the flavor continues to build. Bay leaves have numerous uses in marinades, soups, stews, shellfish, tomato dishes, meats, potatoes and sauces. Bay Leaves are an important ingredient in French, Italian, Indonesian, Latin American, Caribbean and Mediterranean cooking.
