Buko Pandan is a popular Filipino dessert made from young coconut meat (buko), pandan leaves for aromatic flavor, sweetened condensed milk, cream, and gelatin. It is often garnished with nata de coco (coconut jelly) or palm fruit for added texture. Pandan leaves, a staple in Southeast Asian cuisine, lend a distinct fragrance and green color to the dish. While Buko Pandan is rich in flavor and tropical sweetness, it is worth noting its calorie content due to the condensed milk and cream. On the plus side, young coconut meat provides hydration, dietary fiber, and essential electrolytes, contributing to digestive health and energy replenishment. However, moderation is key, as the added sugars and fats can make it a high-calorie dessert. Perfect for festive gatherings, Buko Pandan embodies the freshness and richness of Filipino food culture.
