  • 4 Health Benefits From The Fragrant Pandan

    Health benefits
    of the
    fragrant pandan

    Nigella Lawson quote

    ALL ABOUT PANDAN

    Scientifically known as Pandanus Amaryllifolius, it's a tropical plant in the Pandanus (screwpine) genus.

      FORMS OF PANDAN USAGE

      FOOD FLAVOURING

      Bruised Pandan leaves and its extract adds flavour to rice dishes, and glutinous and tapioca-based desserts and puddings. E.g.: nasi lemak, kuih talam, kaya, onde-onde

      FOOD WRAP

      Used as a wrap for grilling, barbecuing or steaming chicken, meat, fish and desserts.

      This adds a sweet, floral-like note to dishes

      NATURAL INSECT REPELLENT

      Pandan extract or tea can be sprayed around the house or on the body as a natural insect repellent

      It is natural, and therefore safe for children

      PANDAN TEA

      Clean and knot 8-10 blades of pandan leaves, boil them in a pot of water for 10 minutes and simmer for 5 minutes

      Add ginger and/or lemongrass for additional flavour

      FORMS OF PANDAN USAGE

      Detoxifies Your Body

      DETOXIFIES YOUR BODY

      Adding pandan leaves to your diet helps your liver with its detoxifying function. It helps discharge toxins and unhealthy substances from your liver and body. Since it is a mild laxative, it eases the process of waste excretion.

      Prevents Dandruff

      PREVENTS DANDRUFF

      Pandan is a natural remedy to solve the dandruff dilemma. Mash or blend 10 fresh leaves until smooth, and mix with 100ml of water. Apply the mixture on your scalp, wrap with a towel and leave for 30 minutes. Then, rinse with water or shampoo.

      Anti-hyperglycemic Effects

      ANT-HYPERGLYCEMIC EFFECTS

      According to a study in Thailand, published in Pharmacognosy Magazine in 2015, pandan tea/extract helps people lower their sugar level in their blood. It�s been proven that the plasma glucose of the people studied had lowered significantly throughout the period of study.
