Go Earth's Organic�Bay Leaves are made from the fragrant leaf of the Bay Evergreen Tree and have a woody, astringent flavour. They were once used to add savoury flavour to dishes. The leaves may be ground into a spice to flavour soups and stews, but they're most often used whole to flavour specific Italian meals. They are beneficial to our general health, particularly because of their high quality as an original herb and spice.
