pandan
Southeast Asian leaf
Pandan is a tropical plant whose long, blade-like leaves are used as a flavoring throughout Southeast Asian cooking.
The leaves impart a sweet, grassy, slightly nutty aroma often compared to vanilla or coconut.
Pandan flavors rice, desserts, and drinks, and gives the distinctive green color to many regional sweets: pandan cake, pandan ice cream.
