Whole Nutmeg, 1.9 oz – Non-GMO, Salt-Free, Freshly Grated Spice for Baking, Beverages & Gourmet Recipes

These are fantastic! Have such a wonderful fragrance and add a lot to the dish. A bit expensive, but you do not have to use a full leaf.

Very good quality, fresh, nice aroma, nice green color not faded they are pliable not dry and brittle like some other brands, large whole leaves, about 17 to 20 per container, no small leaves like you would find in other brands a few were so large the tips were trimmed by the packer to fit in the jar. bought Dec. 2022 and expiration date was out to 2026 plus a few months. Wish there were more and the price a bit better but I don't use a lot of bay leaves so these will probably last me a year. Since they are fresh and retain much of there potency I use less than I would of other lower quality brands.

THESE ARE THE VERY BEST BAY LEAVES YOU CAN BUY. LIKE GROWING THEM YOURSELF. WAY BETTER AND LESS EXPENSIVE THAN STORE BOUGHT MCCORMICK WHICH ARE DRIED OUT AND BROKEN IN THE JAR.

Taste is subjective. Not a CIA trained chef, but experienced. Like these pepper corns. Most Morton & Basset products are very good.

Asian bay trees are NOT the same as the California Bay tree [bushes in my area] in terms of flavor. Seventy years ago, I grew up with wild CA bay tree (bushes) growing near my house. The flavor of the CA bay leaf has NO parallel to or competition with the rich, nutty aromatic overtones in the CA Bay Leaf. Bay leaves from India are their own flavor. Hence, IF one is cooking an Asian recipe and desires the same flavor as the local India restaurant, then do NOT use the CA bay leaf. For American cuisine and flavors of childhood at grandma's, you must use CA bay leaves. Just as some people claim Coke and Pepsi taste exactly the same, well, neither do the two different bay leaves!

Mortan & Basset spices are just wonderful, especially the Bay Leaves. This would be a 5-Star if organic - and they do have organic bay leaves.

I bought the whole nutmeg once before. I had two left and noticed it expired. I love that I can grate these and it's not too many that I can't use until they expire. The smell and taste are wonderful. They came packed in thick bubble wrap so the jar didn't break.

These are the most beautiful bay leaves I’ve ever purchased! Leaves 😊 the ones that you get in the grocery store in the dust. I’m ordering another bottle. Highly recommend!
