Salak

'Snake-like' appearance makes salak stand out

Salak - Product picture

The 'snake fruit', as salak is also called, owes that nickname to its striking exterior. It sort of looks like the skin of a snake. Salak skin is reddish-brown, with overlapping scales. The skin may look rough and tough, but salak are surprisingly easy to peel.

The skin hides flesh that varies in colour from yellow-white to pink. The bite of the salak is not unlike a crunchy apple. The juicy fruit contains sweet and sour flesh. The fruits are the size of a fig, with pointed ends.

Recipes & preparation tips

Be careful when opening a salak: squeeze the pointy end of the fruit and pull it off. This makes it easy to peel off the skin. Like other exotic fruits, salak adds flavour to a salad. It also makes for a cake topping with a difference. Of course, the fruit can also be eaten on its own as a snack.
