  Simalungun-Di Kampung Girsang, kawasan Danau Toba, proses pengupasan kemiri di Kemiri Girsang tidak hanya menghasilkan kemiri kupas berkualitas, tetapi juga menyisakan  cangkang kemiri  dalam jumlah besar. Alih-alih dibuang, cangkang ini dimanfaatkan sebagai  bahan bakar alami  untuk kebutuhan rumah tangga dan UMKM kuliner—terutama untuk membakar ikan. Sebagai usaha yang berlokasi tak jauh dari Parapat, Kemiri Girsang memanfaatkan limbah produksi kemiri kupas agar bernilai guna, ramah lingkungan, dan membuka peluang usaha tambahan bagi warga sekitar Kampung Girsang. Kenapa Cangkang Kemiri Cocok untuk Bakar Ikan? Cangkang kemiri dikenal punya  daya bakar tinggi  dan  bara yang tahan lama . Ini membuat panas lebih stabil saat proses pemanggangan ikan—hasilnya matang merata tanpa mudah gosong di luar namun mentah di dalam. Selain itu, pembakarannya menghasilkan  aroma khas alami  yang memperkaya cita rasa ikan bakar. Berikut keunggulan ca...
