Kemiri, also known as candlenut (scientific name: Aleurites moluccanus), is a type of nut originating from Southeast Asia and the Pacific. It is commonly used in cooking, especially in Indonesia, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries, as a spice to add richness and flavor to dishes.
Kemiri looks similar to macadamia nuts but cannot be eaten raw because it contains mild toxins. Once cooked or roasted, it is safe to use. It is often found in traditional dishes like rendang, sambal, and various curries, thanks to its natural richness and ability to thicken sauces.
