DRIED PANDAN LEAVES / DRIED PANDANOUS LEAVES

Dried pandanus leaves, commonly known as pandan leaves, are valued for their naturally sweet, nutty, and vanilla-like aroma. Carefully dried to retain their fragrance, they are widely used in culinary applications to enhance both sweet and savory dishes. In desserts, pandan leaves are infused into milk, syrups, rice, and custards to impart a distinctive tropical flavor and natural green hue. In savory cooking, they are often knotted and added to rice dishes, curries, and stews, or used to wrap foods before cooking to add aroma. Dried pandan leaves can also be brewed into a fragrant herbal infusion or tea. When lightly toasted or sweetened, they can be enjoyed in small amounts as an aromatic snack or chew. Shelf-stable and versatile, dried pandan leaves bring a signature Southeast Asian essence to everyday cooking.
