How is pandan grown? From plant to plate

🌱 A demanding but generous tropical plant

The pandan (Pandanus amaryllifolius) is a perennial tropical plant that grows in the warm, humid climates of Southeast Asia: Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, etc.

It is grown in the ground or sometimes in pots in urban areas. The plant develops long, emerald-green leaves, naturally fragrant, which are harvested when mature for food use.

🧑🌾 Artisanal and responsible cultivation

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

This cultivation method respects natural cycles and allows for several harvests per year.

🔄 From fresh leaf to finished product

Once harvested, pandan leaves can undergo different treatments depending on their use:

• Dried then reduced to powder: perfect for baking and drinks

• Pressed to make a natural liquid extract

• Chopped or infused as is in dishes or infusions

👉 All these formats preserve the active ingredients and aromas of pandan, without colorings or additives.
