Avocado Leaves

(hojas de aguacate)
Harvested from Mexican avocado (Persea
drymifolia) tree, offering a nutty aroma and a
 mellow anise-licorice flavor.
Dried leaves are usually toasted before use,
and added whole, ground, or crumbled
to Mexican dishes.
Whole leaves are also used in layer into
casseroles, or a bed for roasting meats,
and wrapped around fish, chicken, and
meat when grilling.
Suggested Usage: Toast the avocado leaves in a hot dry
skillet or pass them over a live flame for about 10 sec.
The dried leaves can be used as infusion to help with
tummy troubles and other intestinal issues.
