Salak

About

Salak (also known as snake fruit) gets its name from its reddish-brown, scaly skin that looks like snake scales. Native to Indonesia, this small fruit peels easily to reveal crisp, juicy flesh with a unique flavour profile; it typically presents a sweet and acidic taste with a notable astringent edge, which can vary significantly among different cultivars. The diversity makes it a fruit with a complex palate.
