How is pandan grown? From the plant to your plate

🌱 A tropical plant that’s demanding but rewarding

Pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) is a tropical perennial plant that grows in the hot, humid climates of Southeast Asia: Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia…

It is grown in the ground or sometimes in pots in urban areas. The plant develops long, emerald-green leaves with a natural fragrance, which are harvested when ripe for culinary use.

🧑🌾 A tradition of craftsmanship and sustainability

Pandan growers often operate on a small scale, using agroecological methods.
– No chemical pesticides
– Low-impact irrigation
– Manual harvesting of leaves, without damaging the plant

This growing method respects natural cycles and allows for multiple harvests per year.

🔄 From fresh leaves to the finished product

Once harvested, pandan leaves can be processed in various ways depending on their intended use:

• Dried and ground into powder: perfect for baking and beverages

• Pressed to make a natural liquid extract

• Chopped or steeped whole in dishes or infusions

👉 All these formats preserve the active ingredients and natural flavors of pandan, with no artificial colors or additives.
