 Relation Of Culinary Plants To SGM Plants
After all, the leaves are identical in appearance, and when rubbed give off the same odor.
When used in cooking, the domestic bay leaves give a "resinous, rather oily flavor to the dish" instead of adding the expected sweet flavor.
However, much to Tom's surprise, an article in the San Diego Union Tribune (Food Section, 2/7/99) explains clearly that the bay leaf used in cooking is the leaf of Laurus nobilis from the Mediterranean, and that domestic bay leaves are from Umbellularia californica, and "are to be avoided"!

 FR Doc 05-2322
This treatment consists of a hot water dip for 1 hour at a sustained temperature of at least 160[deg] F. However, this treatment is not a viable option for treating leaves from the California bay laurel (Umbellularia californica), as it ruins the leaves for their intended use as a dried spice.
APHIS has received several requests from a spice company in California to approve the use of vacuum heat treatment as an alternative method of treatment for California bay laurel leaves that are moving interstate from a quarantined area for use as a dried spice.
This action would provide an alternative to the currently approved hot water dip used to treat greenery of host plants, specifically California bay laurel leaves, which ruins the suitability of the leaves for use as a dried spice.
