Candle Nut (Buah Keras Isi)

Its native range is impossible to establish precisely because of early spread by humans, and the tree is now distributed throughout the New and Old World tropics. The leaves are pale green, simple, and ovate, or trilobed or rarely five-lobed, with an acute apex. The nut is round, 4–6 cm (1.6–2.4 in) in diameter; the seed shell has white, oily, and fleshy kernel that contains a thin embryo surrounded. Its kernel serves as the source of oil, and is covered with a thin layer of secondary seed coat.
