Everyone knows that bay leaf is an excellent spice that improves the taste and aroma of many dishes.

But few people know that bay leaf helps in the fight against food moths, which like to settle in open bags of flour or cereals.

Laurel leaves repel such pests. The whole point is that insects do not like the aroma of such a spice.

The process of use is extremely simple.

All you need to do is place the leaves in open jars or bags of bulk products.

In a cup with chopped bay leaf, add some cloves, lemon zest or a sprig of vanilla.
