Fresh Pandan Leaves
From:
In Southeast Asia, pandan leaves are used to lend a unique taste and aroma to flavor desserts and drinks as well as savory dishes. Pandan leaves, which are sold fresh, frozen, and dried, can also be used to wrap savory foods, such as chicken or sticky rice. The leaves impart these foods with an aromatic note and also give the dishes visual appeal. The paste, extract, and powder tint the ingredients with a green hue while contributing flavor. Pandan is inexpensive, with a much lower price tag than vanilla bean.
