Put bay leaf in the refrigerator, my grandmother always did it! Here’s why and how to do it | August 3, 2024

Among the most useful and widespread plants in our country we certainly find the laurel . It is a fantastic plant, which has been used for centuries not only in the kitchen, but also for many other purposes. In this article we will reveal some of the peculiar characteristics of laurel and a particular use related to the refrigerator . Let’s see in detail!

Laurel, a magnificent plant!

Defining the laurel plant as a magnificent plant is anything but risky. In fact, its properties are numerous. For example, you can make infusions and herbal teas that fight abdominal pain; while thanks to the fragrance that distinguishes it, it is possible to perfume the whole house and optimize recipes of all kinds.

Obviously, someone will already know that a very ancient symbolism is also linked to this plant: just think that the crowns of various ancient wise men and sovereigns were adorned with laurel.

Why use it in the refrigerator

But why should you use this plant in the fridge ? For a very simple reason: the laurel plant is capable of perfuming the entire interior of the appliance . Have you noticed that sometimes when you open the fridge door you notice bad smells or in any case very strong smells?

There are some foods which, more than others, give off a very intense smell , not necessarily linked to their correct state of conservation. Let’s think about cheese, for example. To solve the problem, you can use bay leaves. We just need to spread a few leaves on the various shelves of the appliances and leave them for several days.

It could also be combined with the action of sodium bicarbonate, which is also very useful against bad odors, thanks to its absorbent action.
