Despite the name Indonesian bay leaf it is not related to bay but belongs to the clove and guava family. It is simmered whole in Indonesian dishes and its aroma is mild and tea-like.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
