Advantages
Why our Grade A performs
- High oil content. Kernels are harvested at full maturity and dried slowly, preserving the richness that makes kemiri an effective thickener.
- Clean, uniform appearance. Hand-sorting removes discoloured and broken pieces, giving a consistent ivory lot.
- Low moisture, long shelf life. Controlled drying to max. 6% moisture reduces the risk of mould in transit.
- Single-origin traceability. Each lot is linked to its collection area and drying batch.
Applications
Common uses
- Thickening base for curries, rendang, and traditional Southeast Asian pastes
