About Emping

Emping is a traditional Indonesian snack made from the flattened and sun-dried seeds of the melinjo tree (Gnetum gnemon). These crispy crackers are commonly enjoyed as a side dish or snack, especially in Javanese and Sundanese cuisine. Emping has a nutty, slightly bitter flavor that pairs well with savory dishes like nasi goreng or soto. Despite being light and satisfying, it is typically deep-fried, which adds calories and fat. The melinjo seeds contain antioxidants and notable levels of iron and fiber, offering some health benefits. However, they are also high in purines, which can contribute to elevated uric acid levels and are not recommended for individuals prone to gout. Moderation is key when enjoying emping as part of a balanced diet, and opting for baked versions, when available, can make them a healthier choice.
