Indian Bay Leaves – Tej Patta: aroma and flavour is strongly reminiscent of cinnamon, cloves and cassia.  Indian Bay leaves are quite large in size, olive green in colour and have 3 veins running the length of the leaf. These should not to be confused with the more common European bay leaf. To get the most from your dried Indian Bay leaves they should be crushed or torn before adding to a dish. Indian Bay leaves are very different from European bay leaves and are not a substitute  as their flavour is entirely different.

The various products in our Madagascar cloves variety are organically available (Ecocert). The clove (Syzygium aromaticum) is a tree of the Myrtaceae family, native to Indonesia. The buds are harvested before its outbreak and sun dried.
