Pandanus amaryllifolius is a tropical plant in the Pandanus (screwpine) genus, commonly known as pandan. It has fragrant leaves which are used widely for flavouring in the cuisines of Southeast Asia and South Asia. It is believed to have been domesticated in ancient times and is propagated by cuttings. It is used in a variety of dishes, including klepon, kue putu, dadar gulung, lapis legit, pandan cake, buko pandan salad, and buko pandan cake. It is also used as a flavoring for desserts such as pandan cake and sweet beverages. It is used to enhance the flavor of pulao, biryani, and sweet coconut rice pudding, or payesh. It is also used as a food preservative due to its antibacterial and antifungal properties. Pandan tea is an increasingly popular use of the pandan leaves, often using green tea as a base and adding jasmine and other herbs for additional fragrance and flavor. The leaves are also used in the perfume industry and traditional medicine, and can be used as natural air fresheners.
