Laurus nobilis Bay Leaf Whole from Turkiye, Certified Organically Grown.
The #bay leaf is an #aromatic #leaf commonly used as a #herb in #cooking. Bay leaves contain essential oils, such as #eucalyptol, #terpenes, and #methyleugenol, that contribute to their taste and #aroma. Bay leaves can also be used scattered in a #pantry to repel meal #moths, #flies, and #cockroaches and the essential oil has been found to be an effective #insect #repellent. Bay leaves are used in Eastern #Orthodox #Christian #liturgy to mark #Jesus' destruction of #Hades and freeing of the #dead. Parishioners throw bay leaves and #flowers into the air, letting them flutter to the ground. In #magic and #witchcraft, #wishes and #intentions are written on whole bay leaves before being #burned.

MINIMUM ORDER IS 100g OR $5 WORTH
You can bring your own container if you are picking up. Please make sure that you bring bottles for liquids and wide-mouthed jars or bags for solids and herbs. Please make sure that the containers you bring are the right size. To use your container for oils, the bottle must be exactly the right size because I will be filling your order by volume. A 1000mL J jar, not a quart jar. In case of shorting due to metric versus imperial measures, I may fill your container right to the top, your measure might be short, or I may ask you to buy an extra container.
