Pandanas
 |
Pandanas leaves come from the pandanus plant known as Pandanus Spiralis, Pandanus Palm and Screw Palm. It grows in a distinctive screw pattern and is commonly found in coastal areas of the tropical pacific. It varies in size; ranging from small shrubs to trees up to 20 metres tall. It produces large seed pods which have some resemblance to pineapples. When they are ripe the seeds can be extracted and ground into flour. The leaves are very fibrous and strong and can be woven into baskets, mats etc. or the fibre strings can be woven into cloth.
