Bay leaves — the quiet workhorse of the spice rack. You don't taste them directly, but you notice when they're missing. Add whole at the start of cooking, let them do their work in the background, and remove before serving. Essential for anything slow-cooked. 10g pack, sealed for freshness.

Use It In

• Breyani and rice dishes — part of the classic whole spice base
• Soups and broths — pairs with thyme, garlic, and onion for a rich base
• Curries and sauces — adds a subtle herbal depth that rounds out the flavour
