Have you heard of the benefits of Bay leaves?

They can be toxic if you use too much.

I think my mom used to cook with those.

I put bay leaves if I have them in spaghetti sauce and turkey soup.

nice to know this!

Thanks for the link. That's really interesting. I might try the tea to see if it helps me sleep better.

I know about it, but I rarely use it. My mom puts it in cabbage.

I add them in some of my cooking just to enhance the flavour. Never know the benefits. Thanks for sharing

Thanks I did not know bay leaves did all that.

I use bay leaves when making Adobo, a Filipino meat recipe. I love the smell of it.

Someone I know cooks with bay leaves in her homemade spaghetti sauce.

well yes many times, from family ,videos,online

I usually add dried bay leaves whenever I cook fish or chicken and pork recipes. But recently I came across videos in you tube about using dried bay leaves as good luck charms. I tried burning some leaves in the kitchen out of curiosity. I followed to the letter what was shown in the video. The aroma of burnt dry bay leaves is very refreshing and it is supposed to drive away insects from our home and also eliminate negative energies lurking around.
