Many ladies add bay leaves to their foods, especially in the cooking of rich Indian dishes, meat and poultry. Many don't know why bay leaves are added to food!

For Non-veg:
The addition of bay leaves to meat converts triglycerides to monounsaturated fats and, for experimentation and confirmation:-
