Snake fruit is in the Arecaceae or palm family and botanically classified as Salacca Zalacca. In Malaysia and Indonesia, it was known as "Buah Salak" locally. But since it's thin scale-like skin very similar in appearance to that of a cobra or python, earned it the popular moniker, The snake fruit.
There are approximately about 30 different types of snake fruit grown throughout the native lands. While many can be brutally bitter when raw and used solely in cooking, the commonly cultivated types have a unique sweet and sour flavor and slightly acidic taste. The texture might be a bit unusual for some people who aren't used to it.
Despite this, it is a fruit that people come quickly to love and easy to eat straight out of its rinds. 😉👌🏻 Have any of you tried these salak fruits before? Let us know what do you think about it in the comment section down below! 🙌
