Snake Fruit – Salak Pondoh

The outside of the fruit is scaly like a snake and prickly like a cactus, but the inside is sweeter than honey, sour like a pineapple and incredibly juicy. Its flesh is slightly acidic, giving your tongue a citrus-like tingle.
Product description
Snake fruit, also known as salak, is a unique tropical fruit that is native to Southeast Asia. The fruit is named for its scaly brown skin, which resembles the skin of a snake, and is characterized by its sweet, slightly acidic flavor and crunchy texture. Snake fruit is a rich source of fiber, vitamins, and minerals, making it a nutritious and delicious snack that is enjoyed by many in Southeast Asia and beyond. Despite its growing popularity in recent years, snake fruit remains relatively unknown outside of its native region, but is becoming increasingly available in specialty stores and markets in other parts of the world.
