Basmati

Scientific Name:
Pandanus amaryllifolius

Basmati thrives in well-drained, sandy or loamy soil, with full sun to partial shade and regular watering. It attracts pollinators such as bees, and its dense leaves provide shelter for small insects and birds. The roots help stabilize soil, especially in coastal regions. Known for its aromatic properties, the leaves are used to flavor rice, curries, and desserts, and are also used to infuse beverages, enhancing the aroma and taste of various dishes.
