Salak (Salacca zalacca), Dr.Abhay Kumar Pati, USA

June 25, 2010 - PRLog -- Salak (Salacca zalacca) is a species of palm tree native to Indonesia and Malaysia.

The fruit grows 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 pulp is edible. 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, each containing a large inedible seed. The lobes resemble, and have the consistency of  large peeled garlic cloves. The taste is usually sweet and acidic, but its apple-like texture can vary from very dry and crumbly to moist and crunchy.
