Daun Salam: Indonesian Bay Leaf (Detailed)

Daun salam (Syzygium polyanthum) — introduced in INDO-BUMBU-01, here documented fully. This leaf is probably the most frequently MISUNDERSTOOD ingredient in Indonesian cooking for English-speaking cooks, because it is universally translated as "Indonesian bay leaf" — leading cooks to substitute European bay (Laurus nobilis), which is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PLANT with a completely different flavour.
