Bay Leaf-Ground

Bay Leaves (Laurus nobilis) are the leaves from the Bay Laurel Tree commonly found in the Mediterranean region. Ground Bay is ground from the whole leaf and is used to add a tangy, earthy flavor to recipes.

Ground Bay is found in many Cajun and Creole spice blends including our house-blended Bayou Lafourche Blend. From pots of red beans to gumbo, Bay Leaves and Ground Bay capture the flavor of South Louisiana. Add Ground Bay directly to your simmering recipes like soups, stews, pot roast, gumbos and, of course, red beans!
