The small oval fruits of the gnemon tree, which are both red and green, contain a seed which is used to make tantalizing, deep-fried crisps known as melinjo nut crackers. In Indonesia they are called emping melinjo or belinjo. They may be labelled 'melinjo wafers', 'dried bitter nuts' or 'bitter nut crackers'. Some brands list the ingredients as melinjo nuts and tapioca starch. Others simply state that they are melinjo nuts, and indeed they look like nuts which have been rolled out thinly. .
