The Pandanus amaryllifolius or simply pandan plant is a tropical plant that eventually grows into a palm-like tree, hence the name screw palm. It is rare in the wild, but is widely cultivated as a seasoning for Southeast Asian dishes. The plant also called pandan wangi (Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines), annapruna in India, Rampé in Sri Lanka and pulao pata in Bangladesh.
