Candlenut
Candlenut is the oily seed of the candlenut tree commonly used in Southeast Asian and Polynesian cuisines as a thickener and flavoring—ground into pastes or toasted to release its aroma. It is very high in fat at 66.4g per 100g, contributing rich, creamy textures in sauces and spice pastes while also supplying plant-based omega fats and minerals like manganese and copper. Nutritionally it is valued more for its healthy fat content and mineral contributions than for protein, and its fatty-acid profile makes it a useful ingredient when you want richness and mouthfeel in a dish.
