'''''Gnetum gnemon''''' is a species of ''[[Gnetum]]'' native to southeast [[Asia]] and the western [[Pacific Ocean]] islands, from [[Assam]] south and east through [[Malaysia]] and [[Indonesia]] to the [[Philippines]] and [[Fiji]]. Common names include '''Melinjo''' or '''Belinjo''' ([[Indonesian language]]), '''Bago''' ([[Malay language]], [[Tagalog language]]), '''Peesae''' ([[Thai language]]) and '''Bét''', '''Rau bép''', '''Rau danh''' or '''Gắm''' ([[Vietnamese language]]).

It is a small to medium-size [[tree]] (unlike most other ''Gnetum'' species, which are [[liana]]s), growing to 15-20 m tall. The [[leaf|leaves]] are [[evergreen]], opposite, 8-20 cm long and 3-10 cm broad, entire, emerging bronze-coloured, maturing glossy dark green. The fruit-like [[strobilus]] consist of little but skin and a large [[nut (fruit)|nut]]-like seed 2-4 cm long inside.

The seeds are ground into [[flour]] and deep-fried as crackers (''[[keropok]]''). The crackers have a slightly bitter taste and are frequently served as a snack or accompaniment to Indonesian dishes.
