WHY I NEVER MISS A BUNCH OF LAUREL IN MY HOUSE AND WHAT I ALWAYS USE IT FOR

I put it in all the kitchen cabinets
I really mean it! The essential oils contained in bay leaves keep away many annoying insects which generally invade our kitchen at different times of the year.
The most feared are the flour butterflies . This is why I always keep (even in the winter months) fresh bay leaves in all the compartments of the pantry , changing them when they become too dry. This practice is truly a “preventive measure” that allows us to avoid having invasions of unpleasant insects in the pasta and flour.
In more particular cases, you can also keep the bay leaves inside the flour itself , taking care to inspect carefully and store these foods in glass containers, to avoid contamination.
