INTRODUCING PANDAL LEAF
Pandan, also known as screwpine or pandanus leaf (distinguished from betel, a plant with edible pseudo-fruits and numerous seeds) (scientific name: Pandanus amaryllifolius), is a perennial plant in tropical regions used as a spice in Southeast Asian cuisines such as Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
The pandan leaf is long, narrow, and straight like a sword, clustered at the base like a fan. Pandan leaves are used in fresh or frozen form. Its distinctive aroma is attributed to the compound 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline, which can be used to add fragrance to various types of rice and wheat in culinary applications.
