Inside the hard, furrowed shell, the nut has a high oil content that allows it to burn like a candle.Candlenuts were widely introduced into the Pacific islands by early Austronesian voyagers and became naturalized to high volcanic islands. The leaves are pale green, simple, and ovate or heart-shaped on mature shoots, but may be three-, five-, or seven-lobed on saplings.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Cashews: Cashews have also been listed as a substitute for candlenuts, but they are slightly more creamy and flavorful so if they are being used you may need to adjust how much you use.Candlenuts are very similar to their cousins, the macadamia nut, in both taste, structure, and appearance. The nuts can also be ground or grated and then stirred into soups and stews to thicken and bring richness and a mild nutty flavour.
