Fragrant, Flavorful, and Full of Uses!
Aromatic with notes of vanilla, coconut, and lemon!

Pandan Leaf (Pandanus amaryllifolius) is a beloved tropical plant, prized for its intoxicating aroma and versatile culinary uses. Native to Southeast Asia (particularly Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Vietnam, and Sri Lanka), this lush, clumping perennial is an essential ingredient in traditional dishes, infusing rice, desserts, and teas with its unique blend of vanilla, coconut, and subtle lemony notes. Whether steeped in coconut milk, wrapped around grilled meats, or blended into refreshing drinks, Pandan brings an exotic depth of flavor to any kitchen.

Easy to grow in warm, humid climates (Zones 9-11) and adaptable to indoor container gardening in cooler regions, Pandan thrives with minimal care, producing a steady supply of vibrant green leaves. It’s not only a culinary gem but also a striking ornamental plant, adding a tropical touch to any garden or patio.

Pandan Leaf is known by many names, including Daun Pandan (Malay/Indonesian), Bai Toey (Thai), Rampe (Sinhalese), Lá Dứa (Vietnamese), Kevdara (Gujarati), and Vanilla Grass.
