Exploring Solo’s Culinary Gems: Lenjongan
Solo’s versatility extends beyond its cultural offerings to its delectable culinary delights. Lenjongan, a chewy and sweet snack, captures the essence of Solo’s gastronomic treasures. Served on banana leaves, Lenjongan comprises various cassava and coconut-based treats such as tiwul, getuk, klepon, ketan hitam, ketan putih, cenil, grontol, jadah blondo, wajik, and sawut. The term “lenjongan” encompasses a variety of traditional Solo snacks made from cassava.
This sweet indulgence holds a special place in the hearts of Solo residents, a legacy from the times when cassava was a staple during colonial rule. With creative cassava preparations, Lenjongan has evolved into a collection of delicious and satisfying snacks.
The presentation is as enticing as the taste, allowing customization according to personal preferences. Topped with grated coconut and a choice of granulated or liquid palm sugar, Lenjongan boasts a colorful and appetizing appearance. Free from artificial preservatives and colors, it stands as a healthy and filling snack, perfect for substituting a morning meal.
