Nutritional Info for Bay Leaves
Hi all,
I've been trying to find some nutritional data for Bay Leaves.
The only database I can find that has a publicly available nutritional value is the USDA site (all others seem to reference this info), however in New Zealand there is a category that we need to state which is not listed on the USDA database.
Basically, under the Carbohydrate category, I need a figure for sugars. This is to work out a finished product nutritional panel (that bay leaves are an ingredient of).
Has anyone done testing themselves, or know of a database that I could get this information from?
Thanks
Hi Primadeli,
Is there a certified lab in your area/country that you can send batches of Bay Leaves to get tested for the sugars and any other category you require?

Yep, Many labs, but we are a small company with a limited income and I didn't want to waste money doing this testing for an ingredient that is used in a small amount in only one product. Especially if the info is already available elsewhere.
I finally got a response from the supplier with an entire nutritional which, incidentally, is quite different to the USDA one.
But thank you to everyone who looked at this.
