The flavor that a bay leaf imparts to a dish has not been universally agreed upon, but many agree it is a subtle addition. [1] Bay leaves come from various plants and are used for their distinctive flavor and fragrance. The most common source is the bay laurel (Laurus nobilis).
The bay laurel is dioecious , with male and female flowers on separate plants. [8] Each flower is pale yellow-green, about 1 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 in) diameter, and they are borne in pairs beside a leaf. The leaves are glabrous, 6–12 cm (2–5 in) long and 2–4 cm ( 3 ⁄ 4 – 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) broad, with an entire (untoothed) margin.
Cinnamomum tamala, Indian bay leaf, also known as tejpat, [3] tejapatta, Malabar leaf, Indian bark, [3] Indian cassia, [3] or malabathrum, is a tree in the family Lauraceae that is native to India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, and China. [3]
The leaves are entire and lance-shaped about 3–10 centimetres (1.2–3.9 in) long. They may substitute for the Mediterranean bay leaf in cooking. The flowers are small, yellow or yellowish-green, produced in small umbels (hence the scientific name Umbellularia, "little umbel").
Laurus (/ ˈ l ɔː r ə s /) [2] is a genus of evergreen trees or shrubs belonging to the laurel family, Lauraceae. The genus contains three or more species, [ 3 ] including the bay laurel or sweet bay, L. nobilis , widely cultivated as an ornamental plant and a culinary herb.
Bay leaves are one of the more elusive herbs with a flavor that puzzles people. Despite being a staple ingredient in many soups, stocks, and sauces, many believe bay leaves are unnecessary in cooking.
This is a list of plants organized by their common names. However, the common names of plants often vary from region to region, which is why most plant encyclopedias refer to plants using their scientific names, in other words using binomials or "Latin" names.
