As a person that likes all kinds of fruits and eats many fruits a day, I thought that no one will surprised me with a fruit I don’t know about.

The impossible happened and I never heard about the fruit called Salak!

So what is it and how to eat it??

sSalak is a species of palm tree native to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia.

It is a very short-stemmed palm, with leaves up to 6 meters long; each leaf has a 2-metre long petiole with spines up to 15 centimeters long, and numerous leaflets. The fruits grow in clusters at the base of the palm, and are also known as Snake fruit due to the reddish-brown scaly skin. They are about the size and shape of a ripe fig, with a distinct tip.

The fruit can be peeled by pinching the tip, which should cause the skin to slough off so it can be pulled away. The fruit inside consists of three lobes with the two larger ones, or even all three, containing a large inedible seed. The lobes resemble, and have the consistency of, large peeled garlic cloves. The taste is usually sweet and acidic, with a strong astringent edge, but its apple-like texture can vary from very dry and crumbly to moist and crunchy.

WoW!! Can’t wait to taste you Salak Fruit!!!
