Description: What is pandan? · Pandan, also known as screwpine, is a tropical plant prized mostly for its long, blade-like leaves. It’s a popular ingredient in many Sri Lankan, Thai, and other South Asian dishes. · You can find pandan locally or in specialty markets worldwide. Its leaves are sold either frozen or fresh and measure about 12–20 inches (30–51 cm) depending on the variety. · Over 600 species exist, though not all leaves are edible — it depends on the subtype. All can be used in extracts or infusions or steamed into rice dishes for aroma. · Certain species, such as those that grow in India (Pandan odoratissimus) and the Philippines (Pandan tectorius), produce edible fruits that look like large, red-orange pinecones.

Pandan fruit is also boiled and ground into an edible, highly nutritious paste that’s a staple food in a few parts of the world. · Pandan leaves are commonly pulverized to produce an emerald-green extract. The more mature the leaf, the darker the hue and deeper the flavor. · Furthermore, pandan leaf powder is used to flavor both savory and sweet dishes.
