bay leaf
This term refers specifically to the foliage of the Laurus nobilis, prized for its herbal, slightly floral aroma. In culinary practice, it is almost exclusively used as a whole leaf during the simmering process to infuse flavor, rather than being chopped or eaten raw, as the leaf remains stiff and pungent even after cooking.
Because it is a compound noun consisting of a modifier and a head noun, the pluralization occurs on the word leaf. It is common in recipes to see the singular form used as a mass noun for the ingredient, but when counting individual units, the standard English pluralization rules for leaf apply.
