Pandan Leaf is a fragrant green leaf widely used in Southeast Asian cooking and desserts for its sweet, floral aroma; it’s common in Malaysian, Indonesian and Thai cuisines and often used to scent rice, custards and drinks. It’s typically used fresh or as an extract/paste rather than eaten in large amounts.
Nutritionally, pandan is low in calories and a modest source of fiber and micronutrients; it provides 100µg of vitamin K per 100g and also contains trace minerals such as manganese and copper.
