About Semur jengkol

Semur Jengkol is a traditional Indonesian dish made from jengkol, a robust-smelling legume known for its unique flavor and nutritional properties. Typically simmered in a rich, dark sauce of sweet soy (kecap manis), garlic, shallots, chilies, nutmeg, and other spices, this dish originates from Javanese cuisine and is especially popular in West Java. Jengkol offers a good source of plant-based protein and dietary fiber, supporting digestive health and providing lasting energy. It also contains essential vitamins and minerals such as phosphorus and iron. However, moderation is key as excessive consumption may lead to jengkolism—a rare condition due to its high levels of tannins and peculiar compounds that can impact kidney function. The dish’s flavor is deeply complex, and its health profile balances the nutritious qualities of legumes with the rich, sweet-savory sauce that is high in sodium and sugar content.
