About Kroepoek

Kroepoek, also known as prawn crackers, is a popular snack originating from Southeast Asian cuisine, particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. Made by combining ground prawns, tapioca flour, and water into a dough, it is sliced into thin wafers and dried before being deep-fried. When cooked, kroepoek puffs up into a light, crunchy treat. While it is often enjoyed as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to dishes like nasi goreng, kroepoek is high in fat due to the frying process and may contain significant sodium levels, depending on seasoning. Its tapioca base offers carbohydrates, but the nutritional benefits of prawns—like protein and essential minerals—may be diminished by the cooking method. Moderation is key when adding kroepoek to your diet, and serving it alongside fresh, balanced meals can help mitigate its less healthy aspects.
