Pandan has travelled a long way from the gardens and kitchens of Southeast Asia. In Europe it now turns up in café lattes, bubble tea, sponge cakes, doughnuts and gelato, and the businesses making those products need a dependable source of the ingredient behind them. Fresh leaves rarely meet that need. A well-made pandan leaf powder, bought in professional volumes, usually does.
The Organic Labs Sweden AB supplies pandan powder (Pandanus amaryllifolius) in bulk to cafés, bakeries, ice cream makers, food manufacturers, beverage producers and distributors across Europe. This guide covers what a professional buyer should expect from a pandan supplier and how our supply works.
Who Buys Pandan Powder in Bulk?
Bulk pandan customers are varied, and each buys for a different reason:
- Cafés, coffee shops and bubble tea bars use it daily in pandan lattes, iced drinks, milk teas and smoothies.
- Bakeries and pastry kitchens use it in sponges, chiffon cakes, doughnuts, cookies, creams and fillings.
- Ice cream and gelato makers use it as both the colour and the flavour of a scoop.
- Restaurants and foodservice operators use it on dessert menus, from panna cotta to coconut puddings.
- Food and beverage manufacturers build it into confectionery, chocolate, drinks and other formulated products.
- Distributors and private label brands buy it to resell or to pack under their own name.
Why Professional Kitchens Choose Powder Over Fresh Leaves
In Southeast Asia, cooks cut pandan leaves, blend them with water and squeeze out a green juice. That works when the plant grows by the back door. In Europe, fresh leaves are mostly sold frozen in Asian grocery shops, supply is irregular, and juicing by hand takes time and gives a different strength every time.
Leaf powder removes those problems. It can be weighed to the gram, kept in a cool, dry store and added straight to a milk jug, a mixer bowl or a gelato base. For any business that wants the same drink or cake every day, that predictability is the main reason to switch.

Volumes, From One Drum to Tonnes
Bulk pandan is quoted in steps that follow how a business grows:
- 25 kg: one drum, for cafés, bakeries and product developers testing pandan on the menu
- 50 kg: two drums, for bakeries, dessert brands and café groups with steady sales
- 100 kg: four drums, for HoReCa groups and beverage producers using pandan year round
- 500 kg: a full pallet of 20 × 25 kg drums, for food manufacturers, ice cream producers and distributors
- 1,000 kg and above: scheduled call-off deliveries for industrial production, private label and wholesale supply
The minimum order is one 25 kg drum. Prices depend on volume, destination and how often you order, so each quote is prepared individually.
Capacity You Can Plan Around
A manufacturer that adds pandan to a product range needs to know the ingredient will still be available in six months. Our supply capacity is up to 60 tonnes per month. For recurring or multi-tonne volumes, we reserve production against your forecast and deliver on an agreed call-off schedule, so your line never waits for a harvest.
We hold finished stock in Sweden and plan supply with our partners across the season, which means volume can be committed in writing before you build it into your production plan.
Quality and Documentation
We work under a food safety management system certified to ISO 22000, with HACCP-based procedures implemented, and we are a registered food facility in the Swedish sanitary registry. Documents are prepared for the batch you actually receive:
- a certificate of analysis (COA) issued per batch, with your batch number
- a technical data sheet (TDS) with the full product specification
- an ingredient and allergen declaration for your labelling
For confidentiality, certificates and technical documents are sent by email with your quote, usually within 24 hours of your request.
Consistency From Batch to Batch
Pandan is a crop, and like any leaf its colour and aroma vary a little from one harvest to the next. Professional buyers plan for that rather than ignore it:
- keep a sealed reference sample of every batch you approve
- judge new batches in the finished drink or cake, not only as dry powder
- smell the powder when a drum is opened: it should be sweet and fragrant, not flat or musty
- compare each new COA with the specification you approved
How Ordering Works
- Send your request with quantity, delivery country, application and expected annual volume.
- Receive a quote and documents by email: price, dispatch date and the paperwork you asked for.
- Test a sample to check colour, taste and performance in your own recipe.
- Take delivery from our warehouse in Sweden, anywhere in the EU and EEA.
We reply within 24 hours on working days, and approved clients can pay by invoice in 30, 60 or 90 days. If you are still comparing suppliers, our guide to buying pandan powder in Europe lists what to check, and our guide for manufacturers working with pandan covers product development.
