Bay Leaf
Bay Leaf is a fragrant dried leaf used across Mediterranean, Balkan and South Asian cuisines (often called Tej Patta or Cinnamomum tamala) to flavor soups, stews, rice dishes and braises. It is valued for its warm, slightly floral aroma and is normally used whole and removed before serving. Although typically used in small amounts, on a per-100g basis Bay Leaf is mineral-rich — notably high in calcium (757.5mg) — and also provides appreciable fiber and vitamin K. Because it is an herb, it contributes negligible calories in normal culinary use while adding micronutrients and flavor. Nutritionally, Bay Leaf is a good source of minerals and contains plant polyphenols with mild antioxidant activity, which adds to its value as a flavorful, nutrient-dense seasoning rather than a bulk food.
