Por Kwan Yanang Extract is a natural flavoring extract made from the leaves of the pandan plant, which is native to Southeast Asia. The extract is commonly used in Thai and other Southeast Asian cuisines to add a fragrant, sweet, and slightly nutty flavor to various dishes and desserts.
The pandan plant, also known as screwpine, has long, narrow leaves that are used to extract the flavor for cooking. The extract is made by steeping the pandan leaves in water, then simmering the liquid until it has reduced to a concentrated syrup.
Por Kwan is a well-known brand that produces Yanang Extract, which is widely used in Thai cuisine for desserts such as rice pudding, coconut milk jelly, and sweet sticky rice. The extract is also used in savory dishes, such as curries, to add a subtle sweetness and aroma.
