1. Product Overview

Bay leaves, also known as Tej Patta in India, are aromatic leaves commonly used to flavor soups, stews, rice dishes, and curries. These dried leaves come from the Laurus nobilis plant and are well known for their subtle herbal fragrance and mildly bitter, sharp taste. As a traditional spice in Indian and international cuisines, bay leaves are valued both for their culinary and medicinal uses.

We are a trusted manufacturer and exporter based in Gujarat, India, offering clean, whole bay leaves with a natural green-brown color. Each batch is carefully dried and packed to retain freshness, aroma, and long shelf life, adhering to international quality standards.
