| Has anyone eaten Pandanus? I hear the tips of the fruit cells can be consumed and I have some ripe ones, but am wondering the best way to do it. The stuff is pretty unusual smelling. |

I've taken a knife and tasted some of the yellow fruit after some of the keys have come off here at Selby Gardens. I've seen them loaded with fruit flies making it look like it would taste like pineapple-wrong!!
It tastes just like a raw sweet potato! (I tasted one before the fruit flies got on it.)
I do have kewda or kewra essence as well as the extract. It's used to flavor sugar-syrup for 'cheese cake balls' in India.
