What Is Screw Pine?

(And Why It’s Kind of a Big Deal)

Screw pine or pandan is a tropical leaf which is used in everything in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Whether sweet or savory, it alters the whole process of eating food.

• Enhances or gives subtle sweet odor to basmati rice and coconut milk meals 
• Enhances flavor in payesh, pandan cakes, or Thai sticky rice 
• Works wonders in flavored drinks, biryani, and kheer 
• Packed with antioxidants and calming properties 
• 100% halal and natural – no added coloring or fragrance 

Now available at Jannat Halal Food Japan, your favorite halal grocery store in Shinjuku. They bring hard-to-find desi and Asian pantry items right to your door (or basket).

A Little Goes a Long Way

Here’s the thing, pandan is bold.
You don’t need much.

• One or two frozen leaves into your rice cooker, and suddenly your plain rice isn’t so plain anymore. 
• Want a Southeast Asian dessert? Boil it with coconut milk and palm sugar, done. 
• Feeling fancy? Use it to wrap chicken or tofu before grilling. 

The beauty lies in its gentle but unforgettable fragrance. Like vanilla. But greener. Earthier.

Frozen but Fresh – How?

Different leaves are plucked, washed and frozen using flash. This implies that you have the maximum intensity of the aroma without being bothered over spoilage. Use what you want and empty the rest on to the freezer.
