Dried pandan leaves, known for their distinctive green colour and sweet aroma, are an essential element of Southeast Asian cuisine. They are obtained from the pandan plant, which is scientifically known as ‘Pandanus amaryllifolius’. In their fresh form, the leaves are highly aromatic and are often used to add flavour and colour to a variety of dishes, from rice dishes to desserts.
When the leaves are dried, they preserve some of their characteristic fragrance, which is often compared to that of vanilla or coconut. Drying the leaves allows them to be stored for longer and makes it easier to export them to regions where the plant is not native.
Special features of dried pandan leaves
- Aroma: Dried pandan leaves exude a sweet, almost nutty aroma. Their fragrance is often perceived as soothing and pleasant.
- Versatility: They can be used in both sweet and savoury dishes, making them a versatile ingredient in the kitchen.
- Natural colouring: In ground form, dried pandan leaves can be used as a natural green colouring in cakes, puddings and even drinks.
- Storage: Dried leaves have a longer shelf life and are easier to transport than fresh leaves, making them more accessible outside their native regions.
Uses of dried pandan leaves
- Flavouring rice and desserts: A few pieces of the dried leaves can be added to rice or rice pudding during cooking to impart a subtle sweetness and flavour.
- Teas and drinks: Dried leaves can be brewed or steeped in hot water to produce an aromatic tea that can be enjoyed both hot and cold.
- Extract production: Similar to vanilla pods, dried pandan leaves can be steeped in alcohol to create an extract that can then be used in baked goods and desserts.
- Natural air freshener: Due to their pleasant odour, the leaves can also be used to naturally scent rooms.
