Bay Leaf: Complete Vitamin Profile

Bay Leaf: Considered a good source of vitamins?

No, bay leaf is not a good source of vitamins. While it does contain some B Vitamins (thiamin and pyridoxine), these amounts are very minimal and unlikely to contribute significantly to an individual’s overall daily intake. Bay leaves may have potential health benefits due to the presence of antioxidants such as chlorogenic acid, but scientific evidence regarding the effects of consuming bay leaf in food or supplement form on human health is limited. Additionally, consuming large amounts of bay leaf can cause adverse side effects such as vomiting, nausea and liver toxicity, so should be avoided.
