Bay Leaf Nutrition

Bay Leaf

There are many types of plants containing leaves referred to as “bay leaves”, but the true bay leaf is scientifically known as Laurus nobilis. This is the nutrient-rich variety that is discussed in the article. Many other leaves have a similar appearance and aroma like true bay leaves, but not the same nutrient content. 

This plant is a small tree native to the Mediterranean region. Laurel trees were present everywhere in the region, but changing climates have diminished their presence. However, these leaves have been a part of the culinary and medicinal world for thousands of years, dating back at least to Roman times.
