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.
