Bay leaves are among the most versatile of herbs, and the plants, if regularly clipped, rank among the most decorative of shrubs. The glossy and sweetly scented leaves are indispensable in both French and Mediterranean cooking, traditional ingredient in bouquet garni, and a "must" in marinades, court bouillon, stocks, and relishes.
History
The bay tree came originally from Asia Minor, and was established around the ancient cultures of the Mediterranean. A crown of laurel leaves presented as a symbol of wisdom and victory in ancient Greece and Rome, is the origin of the circlet of leaves worn by victorious motor racing drivers today. The French word baccalaureat, for examinations, and the term "bachelor," for academic degrees, both derive from the Latin for laurel berry, bacca laureus.
Characteristics
Bay leaves are flat, pointed, oval, about 3 inches long, dark green, and glossy. They retain a balsamic scent, and the wood, too, is strongly aromatic. The stems are tough and woody, and have a gray bark. The flowers, which appear in late spring, are small, yellow, and rather insignificant.
Growing Tips
Propagation is by heel cuttings, taken in early summer and kept under cover. Young trees are best planted out in spring; they like good, well-drained soil and a sunny, sheltered position. Harsh winters can kill them if they are left too exposed. For this reason, bay is often grown in pots or tubs.
The trees can be clipped into neat topiary shapes, the sphere being the most traditional.
Bay leaves are used in all branches of cooking - in soups, stocks, syrups, sweet and savory sauces, and as a garnish.
Medicinal Usage
Medicinally, the yellow-colored oil is responsible for its therapeutic actions. It has traditionally been used for the treatment of alopecia along with other problems such as flatulence, indigestion, and rheumatism.
