Naturally dried and stored in a glass jar to preserve all its fragrance, it is the ingredient always at hand to flavor sauces, soups, marinades, and oil-preserved preserves. Thanks to its digestive properties, it makes the consumption of legumes lighter and, when drunk as an infusion with honey and lemon, promotes digestion.

Laurel is rich in essential oils such as eucalyptol, geraniol and pinene, present in both the leaves and berries. It acts on the stomach to improve digestion, bringing calming and balancing benefits.

A recipe for you

Yellow polenta with chickpea cream and bay leaves

Cook a creamy polenta by boiling water with a bay leaf, then remove it and add the corn flour, stirring until smooth. Prepare a chickpea cream by flavouring them in a pan with garlic, bay leaves, paprika and tahini, then blend them with lemon juice and a little water. For a crunchy touch, fry some bay leaves until golden and fragrant. Assemble the dish by pouring the polenta into the plates, covering it with the chickpea cream and finishing with the crumbled crunchy leaves.
