Emping is one of our traditional foods that have spread into many places and provinces. Emping come from Javanese. This food made from seeds of Gnetum gnemon (species of Gnetum) that lives in southeast asia
and western pacific ocean. We could find this plan in Asia such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, and others. Usually the seeds use to make sour vegetable soup or cracker chips like Emping.
We are greatly proud of our traditional foods, because as Indonesian people need a time to know how many traditional foods are available in Indonesia. Indonesia has many foods such as like this. So, We could create our traditional foods base on our place, region, province, and culture. That’s why we try to introduce our traditional food to you all. Indonesia is interesting.
