班蘭植物<br><i>露兜樹</i>

Yes, this is the fabulous Pandan plant (Pandanus amaryllifolius) whose leaves are used throughout Asia for cooking. It has fragrant leaves which are used widely for flavouring rice, savoury dishes and sweets in the many cuisines of Asia. And you can also use it as a natural food colouring. Imported frozen Pandan leaves are widely available in Asian grocery stores but fresh is hard to find in NZ. Grow your own!
