Best Answer

Bay leaves grow on a tree and can be used in cooking - they are safe to eat = Answer = Bay Leaves come from the sweet bay or laurel tree, known botanically as Laurus nobilis. They are often used as a flavoring for soups and stews, but the leaves themselves are bitter and hard to chew, so are generally discarded after cooking.
