I think you would like the tomato soup -- it tastes much more fresh than Campbells. You know how your own plants taste better than processed ones! This Oregon Myrtle leaves are different from the bay leaves in most grocery stores. These myrtle leaves are so fragrant -- as fragrant as eucalyptus trees, if you have any of those around.
Amazing yes we have in a yard a big eucaliptus tree i took some leaves for make some tea for drink when we have cold i will try with eucaliptus leaves ???? I never thinking in uses this strong aromatic leaves in the kitchen would be nice for get your recipes the flavor and smell strong. Thank you very much for the tips would be nice to tasted i am imagin some recipes with this, i only uses ginger in beans fried for example and have better flavor, yes the soup it is better fresh without chemistry as can of preserved as campbell.
Thank you so much
I have never cooked with eucalyptus, so I don't know how they taste. And there are so many kinds of eucalyptus, that may taste different. Some may be really bad! But their smell is the closest that I can think of, to the Oregon Myrtle leaves. And the oils in both are types of cineole.
Another option might be the younger leaves of the Mexican Avocado (Persea americana var. drymifolia). They are in the same family as the Oregon Myrtle (Lauraceae) and have a spicy fragrance. The other Avocado strains, like the Guatemala or West Indian Avocados, don't have the same spiciness and are not good for food or spice.
Eucalyptus melliodora this is the spice of eucalyptus that exist in our yard, ok I try to identify the local name of Oregon Myrtle. I do not know if exist some similar, I will try because it is very very important know aromatic plants for food.
I will try to identify the Persea Americana I have some avocados plants in our garden but I do not what kind of avocado are it, I review the younger leaves for try to find it,
Thank so much for this nice information, I will review the same spice of aromatic plants.
