But I stopped that practice a long time ago and started to crumple them for a number of reasons.<br /><br />One, when you crumble them, they impart their flavor into your dish more efficiently than if left whole. At least that is my experience.<br /><br />But the most important reason why I crumbled up bay leaves and eat them is because of the many medicinal and health benefits bay leaves are reported to possess. Here is one web site that explains why bay leaves are important:<br /><br />http://www.livestrong.com/article/480381-what-are-the-health-benefits-of-bay-leaves/<br /><br />There is quite a bit of info. But bottom line is that I like bay leaf and choose to crumble them up when I use them in my dishes.<br /><br />I understand your recommendation and I thank you for it. My mother stills does it just like you. Especially in her spaghetti. I can still taste the bay leaf flavor and it is very good.<br /><br />Thank you for taking the time to comment. <br /><br />Hope you come back for another visit.<br /><br />-Rueben- (:{Ruebenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06344107067468547628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-779598953617194085.post-30705027441071401512012-03-11T11:05:58.270+10:002012-03-11T11:05:58.270+10:00Sounds very good.
