Salak Fruit Plant

Salak fruit (Salacca zalacca), also known as snake fruit or snakeskin fruit, is a Southeast Asian fruit known for its reddish-brown scaly skin and sweet, tangy, and crunchy taste. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants.

At first glance, Salak’s exteriors looks that of a snake’s skin and that is why it is often called as the Snake Skin Fruit, which has a captivating reddish-brown, scaly skin resembling snake scales. The skin is not just for show; it serves as a protective layer for the succulent and sweet flesh within.

This fruit is native to Indonesia and is primarily grown in regions like Java, Sumatra, and Bali. Over the years, it has found its way to other tropical locales, including Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.
