Klepon is a traditional Javanese food that is widely known in Indonesia. They are small balls of glutinous rice flour that are green in color and filled with liquid brown sugar. When eaten, the sensation of brown sugar melting in the mouth gives a distinctive sweet taste. Klepon is usually served with a sprinkling of grated coconut which adds a savory flavor. The rich taste and texture of klepon makes it one of the most popular traditional cakes.
Flavor Characteristics of Klepon
The characteristic flavor of klepon is a rich and complex combination. The sweetness of the brown sugar gives it a delicious caramel touch, while the grated coconut adds a savory taste and a hint of pandan aroma from the green color of the klepon. The soft texture of the glutinous rice flour also gives it a unique mouth feel.
Not only delicious as food, klepon also has great potential to be used as a flavoring in various food and beverage products. With its unique flavor characteristics, a combination of sweet brown sugar, soft glutinous rice flour, and savory grated coconut, klepon flavoring can give an authentic traditional touch to modern products.
