Bay Leaf (Laurus nobilis) – Also known as laurel leaf and bay laurel, the leaves of a small evergreen laurel tree native to the Mediterranean. They impart a lemon-nutmeg flavour to foods, and are usually used whole and removed before serving. Two varieties are commonly available; the shorter, more oval Turkish variety are much preferred over the longer, narrower California variety.
