Candlenuts, similar in shape to hazelnuts, are small, white, waxy nuts-called buah keras in Malaysia and Indonesia-used primarily as a thickening agent for spice pastes. Blanched almonds or unsalted macadamia or Brazil nuts may be substituted. Candlenuts are available in Indian and Asian markets.

For other nut varieties, see almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, peanuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, and walnuts.
