About Kluwek

Kluwek is the processed seed of the kepayang tree, used as a seasoning and colouring ingredient in Indonesian cooking. The seed is prepared before culinary use; it is not interchangeable with the fresh fruit or unprocessed seed.

The processed kernels are dark and firm, and when incorporated into food they contribute a deep colour and earthy flavour. Kluwek may be sold as whole kernels or in other prepared forms, whose texture and concentration differ.
