dc.description.abstractMedicinal plants have been used for centuries as remedies for human diseases due to their chemical components of therapeutic value. Laurus sp. belongs to the family Lauraceae, which grows in the Mediterranean region. Their leaves have been used to treat neurological disorders, while the essential oil is useful in pain relief and presents antibacterial activity. In Portugal, there are only three species of Laurus: L. nobilis, native to mainland Portugal, L. azorica (Seub.) Franco and L. novocanriensis, two autochthonous species from Azores and Madeira archipelagos, respectively. Scarce information exist about autochthonous Laurus sp. collected in Portugal, especially those usually consumed in the Portuguese diet. Therefore, in this work, we studied the nutritional value and some phytochemicals content of fresh and dried plants collected in the North of Portugal (L. nobilis), Azores (L. azorica), and Madeira archipelagos (L. novocanriensis), where people frequently use them for traditional medicine and gastronomy.pt_PT
