Pandan/Screwpine?

[mingerspice]

Does anyone know where to get this leaf? It would be even better if I could buy it at a nursery. I tried posting this on the general board, but no responses were forthcoming.

Could you retype that? It's not a complete address.

I buy frozen pandan leaves at the local Asian grocery stores such as Lion City in Milpitas. When you need to use it, break off a leaf and rinse it under running water. Works wonderfully. Lion's also carries pandan extract - depends on what you're using it for.

Does anyone know where to find Pandan extract? In a thai cooking class we were told it was easy to find, but none of the asian grocery stores I have tried had it. And I crave pandan tapioca.

Have you tried a Thai grocery store?

I bought mine at the Indian store ajoining Viks Chaat House in Berkeley. Pandan is a wonderful flavor also used in Indian sweets. Share your recipe with us!

I was able to find frozen pandan leaf at the May Wah store on Clement/8th thereabouts. You can find extract there as well.

Any recent sightings?

If you go on vacation to Hawaii, you can pick up seedlings from the pandanus utilis screwpine. This is quite different from the varietal found in SE Asia, but just as fragrant.

From another topic: "Fresh pandan leaves can be found at New May Wah Supermarket on Clement Street in SF. Check at the back of the produce section, they should be where the fresh herbs are found."
