What is Bay leaf?
Dried bay (laurel) leaves, a whole-leaf aromatic used in slow cooking and pulled before service. Sold loose by weight in bulk for foodservice.
Dropped into stocks, braises, tomato sauce, soups, beans, and brines for background aroma; central to Caribbean, Cajun, and Indian (in garam-style spice blends) cooking. A staple in any kitchen running a stockpot.
Bay leaf wholesale price in NYC
As of July 13, 2026, the wholesale quote for bay leaf in the NYC market is about $9.95 — it's held close to flat at that level across the past 12 months.
Right in line with its 12-month average this week.
Why the number moves
NYC produce runs through the high-volume houses that feed Hunts Point and the wider metro — California, Florida, Mexico, and Northeast farms when they're in season. That's why a case rate on bay leaf can shift week to week.
It's held pretty steady across the year. Buying what's in season is still the most reliable way to keep produce cost in check.
Per case or per pound?
Produce is sold by the case, with a per-pound rate shown where it helps you compare. Order on the unit that matches your prep so you're not throwing money out on shrink — perishables don't wait.
Dried bay is shelf-stable but loses aroma over months, buy a size you'll turn over, not a giant tub that goes flat. Keep sealed away from heat and light; count leaves in and out of large batches so none ends up on a plate.
