About the product

Candlenuts, a staple ingredient with global demand

Candlenuts (Aleurites moluccanus) are oil-rich seeds used in Southeast Asian cuisine to thicken and enrich curries and spice pastes. Beyond cooking, their oil is also pressed for cosmetics, hair care, and traditional remedies.

Our candlenuts are collected from farming communities in North Sumatra, traditionally dried, shelled, and hand-sorted before every shipment — so buyers receive consistent quality in every batch.
