Gone Viral on Social Media Due to Being Considered the Same, Kemiri and Hazelnut

Dream - Hazelnut and kemiri have gone viral on social media recently. This happened after one TikTok user mentioned that hazelnut is kemiri.

The word 'kemiri' immediately entered the trending list on Twitter Indonesia. So, is hazelnut the same as kemiri? For Sahabat Dream who are still confused, here is the explanation that Dream summarized from Diadona.

Hazelnut

Hazelnut is a type of nut that comes from the Corylus tree, also known as Hazel. Hazelnut is usually used as a food additive in items such as cakes, chocolates, and spreads.

With its sweet and savory taste, hazelnut is a popular choice for delicious food combinations. Additionally, hazelnut can be consumed raw, roasted, or made into spreads. It can also be processed into oil and used for cooking.

Kemiri

It has been widely discussed because it is considered as kemiri, even though hazelnut and kemiri are two different types of plants. Both of them come from the plant kingdom (Kingdom Plantae), but they are not in the same category. Hazelnut belongs to the Betulaceae family and Corylus genus.

On the other hand, kemiri comes from the Euphorbiaceae family and Aleurites genus. The kemiri tree (Aleurites moluccana (L.) Willd.) produces seeds called kemiri. Kemiri can be used as a source of oil and spices. In English, kemiri is called candlenut.

So, kemiri and hazelnut are different and come from different families, Sahabat Dream.
