Made in Japan Over 430 bay leaves Sizes vary. These are pesticide-free bay leaves. The photos are examples. The leaves turn brown as they dry, but the aroma remains the same. They can be used. Because they are pesticide-free, there may be some insect-eaten or misshapen leaves. Please understand. For cooking, use them in curry, stew, and nikujaga (meat and potato stew). For those who like the aroma, use them in miso soup. If you grind them into a powder, you can use them in hamburgers, etc. The bay leaves will be picked from the branch after purchase. Thank you for your understanding.
