Cookbook:Pandan Essence

| South-East Asian cuisines

Pandan Essence is an essence extracted from the leaves of the screwpine (Pandanus amaryllifolius). It comes in two varieties:


 * Pandan essence – a clear liquid
 * Pandan paste – deep-green and quite thick

Pandan essence or paste is used in place of fresh pandan leaves, to flavour and colour desserts, drinks, and tapai.
