Bay

These elongated gray-green leaves are used to flavour sauces, soups, stews and braises, imparting a slightly sweet, citrusy, nutty flavor. Remove bay leaves from a dish before serving. Fresh bay leaves can occasionally be found in your market but you're more likely to find them dried in the spice aisle
