## Description
The candlenut, also known as candleberry, Indian walnut, kemiri, varnish tree, nuez de la India, buah keras, godou, kukui nut tree, and Kekuna tree, is a flowering tree in the spurge family.

These nuts look similar to macadamia nuts, however their taste is quite different. Roasted slivers or shavings of candlenut have a pleasing, nutty, almond-like flavor without the background bitterness characteristic of almonds.
