They have a nutty, botanical fragrance that is used as a flavor enhancer in India, Indonesian, Singaporean, Filipino, Malaysian, Thai, Bangladeshi, Vietnamese, Chinese, Sri Lankan, Khmer and Burmese cuisines, especially rice dishes and cakes.
The leaves are sometimes steeped in coconut milk, which is then added to the dish. They may be tied in a bunch and cooked with the food. They may be woven into a basket which is used as a pot for cooking rice. Pandan chicken, (Thai: ไก่อบใบเตย, kai op bai toei), is a dish of chicken parts wrapped in pandan leaves and baked.

Pandan chicken: A dish that leaves you wanting more!
- By Elaine Ho
KUALA LUMPUR — Any doubts that this dish originates from Asia will be wiped away once you notice the main ingredient here, besides the chicken of course, is screwpine or pandan leaves!
These leaves are quite commonly used in South-east Asian dishes, from meat to fish and even desserts!
Their presence in any dish they are added to is in no way subtle. Pandan lends a distinct, floral-like fragrance to the dish and their sweet, almost rose-like flavour mingles with the natural flavours of the other ingredients.
While they are available in abundance in South-east Asia, looking for them in other countries may be a little difficult.
They are usually sold either dried or frozen in Asian stores, though they may even be available in paste form in some other places. The fresh leaves are much more effective at providing flavour and a stronger aroma compared to the dried ones, making them the first choice in most dishes.
For this dish, the gentle flavour of the pandan leaves softens the strong taste of the chicken, resulting in appetising bites of chicken meat. Wrapping the chicken pieces with pandan leaves also allows the meat to be tender and flavourful when they are fried, encased in the protective embrace of the strips of these aromatic leaves.
This makes them excellent appetisers, as they succeed in only teasing your tastebuds. Or you could also serve them as delicious snacks, though you might have to make large quantities...once you try them, it’s really going to be quite difficult to remember that they are just snacks.

A tech prop for tradition, screw pine industry gets a lifeline
- By T. Nandakumar
The ailing screw pine industry in Kerala is set to stage a comeback, thanks to a government-sponsored project to equip the traditional sector with technological support to tap the booming global market for eco-friendly products.
The Jawharlal Nehru Tropical Botanic Garden and Research Institute (JNTBGRI) has tied up with the Kerala State Industrial Development Corporation (KSIDC) to set up an integrated research and development centre for the development of the green industry in Kerala.
- Rs.18.95-crore project
Located at Kodungalloor, the Rs.18.95-crore project is an extension of a scheme initiated in 2010 for large-scale multiplication of screw pine (Pandanus).
A study conducted by the KSIDC had revealed that the once-thriving cottage industry was driven to the verge of ruin by the shortage of screw pine leaves, the raw material for the production of a range of products such as mats, baskets, and bags.
In many parts of the State, the spiked leaves were also widely used for fencing and thatching.
The first phase of the project seeks to establish a plant tissue culture laboratory for large-scale multiplication of screw pine. A
ccording to K. Satheeshkumar, scientist in charge of the project, Kodungalloor, was traditionally the hub of screw pine cultivation and industry in Kerala. “Thousands of people were employed in the sector,” he said.
But with the decline in cultivation of the palm, the industry suffered a setback and is now left with only a handful of workers.
The second phase of the project involves scientific validation of the quality and durability of screw pine fibre, development of a range of products, and subsequent technology transfer.
Manual processing and extraction of fibre from the spiked leaves is a laborious and costly affair.
“A revival of the screw pine industry will depend on replacing the traditional methods with technology- assisted processes,” says Dr. Satheeshkumar.
- Global market
Director of JNTBGRI P.G. Latha said the project was designed to help Kerala claim a share of the huge global market for natural fibre products and generate employment for tens of thousands of women.
The R&D centre will focus on the development of technology to convert the fibres into value-added products such as bags, hats, floor coverings, and handicrafts.
It will also seek to develop natural dyes for the products. Scientists at JNTBGRI are reportedly close to developing a natural dye from mushroom.
The integrated centre also seeks to establish a conservatory of available species and varieties of screw pine. The JNTBGRI has acquired a taller variety of the species from the Andamans which yields larger leaves.
“We are trying to propagate the variety here,” Dr. Latha said. The institute is also supplying saplings of screw pine to be used as soil binders for the protection of riverbanks and slopes prone to erosion.

New therapeutic garden opens in HortPark
- By Nadia Jansen Hassan (CNA/av)
Located at Hyderabad Road, this is the first time a therapeutic garden has been developed in a public park in Singapore.
SINGAPORE: In a bid to improve the well-being of residents and to help seniors age gracefully, the National Parks Board (NParks) launched a new therapeutic garden at HortPark on Saturday (May 14).
Located at Hyderabad Road, this is the first time a therapeutic garden has been developed in a public park in Singapore. It features elements of horticultural therapy, which is the use of plants and nature to benefit and stimulate the human mind.
Every detail in the garden is said to be strategic. Vibrant-coloured flowers were chosen as an uplifting visual stimulant, while there are also pastel-coloured flowers on display to give a calming effect. Pandan leaves were also planted to activate the sense of smell.
"We have even chosen plantings such that they attract butterflies and birds, so that when people come in here, they can basically uplift their mental well-being through looking at all these things," said Mr Lim Liang Jim, group director of the Centre for Urban Greenery and Ecology at NParks.
The National University Health System had also given input into the design, based on a study it had conducted with NParks on how the elderly benefit from horticultural therapy.
"The rate of depression drops," said Professor Kua Ee Heok, a senior consultant at the Department of Psychological Medicine at the National University Health System. "We did a blood test assessment, a kind of blood chemical we call cytokines; they are the ones that influence our immune system. We found that the cytokine levels also fall, which means that it builds up the immune resistance of old people. This is important, it prevents them from having a lot of illnesses, depression, even cancer."
The garden is also wheelchair friendly with plenty of shade for visitors, and NParks will also work with homes and senior activity centres to provide gardening programmes for the elderly.
The statutory board is hoping to develop more therapeutic gardens to benefit the public. Ten more are expected to be implemented in more public parks.
Senior Minister of State for National Development Desmond Lee, who was at the opening, said the garden will "serve as a prototype" for the rest of the upcoming network.
"NParks will start with two upcoming therapeutic gardens in Bishan-Ang Mo Kio Park and Tiong Bahru Park," he said. "NParks will also partner with Ministry of Health and explore partnerships with other agencies to develop therapeutic gardens in their premises. NParks will support these efforts by developing a set of guidelines and design principles for therapeutic gardens."
Weaving, Pandan as livelihood crop
- By Melody M. Aguiba
The native weaving and food crop “Pandan” are being developed as a livelihood and plantation crop in calamity-affected communities in Bicol.
Albay communities are now taking advantage of the extra income from a highly abundant crop “Karagomoi”, more popularly known as pandan, as a weaving material for handicraft items.
Their products include bags, slippers, placemats, table mats, picture frames, bones, and wall decors.
Pandan is very adaptable to the local soil and readily grows in backyards, shorelines, and in uplands. It may easily be intercropped with coconut and tree plantations.
A project which will improve the quality of Albay’s pandan products has been pursued by the Department of Science and Technology-Philippine Council for Agriculture Aquatic Resources Research and Development.
This is the Integrated Research and Development Project for Karagomoi to Create Agri-industrial Business Opportunities in Albay.
“In a calamity-prone area like the Bicol region, pandan is a source of hope and a symbol of resilience for many. Making handicrafts provides livelihood and enhances people’s creativity in developing novel products,” reported Meryll Kyla Irader in Farmnews.
Farmers need to be trained on plantation development for pandan in order to achieve economies of scale in handicraft production.
Pandan is usually harvested three years upon plantation development.
Aside from backyard farming, the lowly pandan can now be planted in marshlands, shaded areas under forest trees and as intercrop with coconut and anahaw. It may also be planted along creeks and river banks.
Farmers are discouraged from planting pandan together with commonly growing trees like Ipil Ipil and Isis as this causes prevalence in diseases in pandan such as leaf spot and scars. Farmers are encouraged to clean the farms especially in intercropping sites.
Planting materials that are clean or disease-free are being reproduced. Suckers are obtained only from healthy mother plants.
A drying system may also need to be developed since drying pandan takes around two days. On sunny days, pandan leaves are easier to dry by exposing them to the sun the whole day.

Pandan Leaves for Pain – Try This Herbal Tea!
- By Jennifer Bliss
I’ve been hitting up my local herb store lately and really getting into their bulk section. I like doing this because I can buy as much or as little as I want. Most of the time I buy items in smaller quantities so I have fresher ingredients in my cupboard. Then when I need more, I can go restock. Another plus of bulk buying is that I can try new things without having to buy large quantities. That way, if I’m not that crazy about a new food or herb, it won’t go to waste. Having said that, I recently found out how good pandan leaves are for us, and wanted to incorporate more of them into my life.
