CANDLENUT (BUAH KERAS) 石栗果

Scientific name: Aleurites moluccana
The candle nut or buah keras is used as one of the ingredients in making curry here in Malaysia. However, I don't think many would know that it is used as traditional medicine to treat headaches, fevers, ulcers, swollen joints and gonorrhea.
