Australian market
In many South Asian countries, pandan is an essential ingredient in both sweet and savory dishes. As a close neighbor, Australia has embraced South East Asian cuisine, often pairing it with local wines, beers, and innovative cocktails.
Australia’s diverse Asian communities, including the significant Chinese, Filipino and Vietnamese communities, have enriched the local food scene with their traditional flavors. Pandan is commonly used in Thai, Vietnamese, Taiwanese and Filipino cuisine, flavoring coconut milk-based dishes and desserts like Buko pandan. It is also featured in rice-based treats like Suman and various sweet beverages and confections.
7000 Islands
