Salak

Salak (Salak, Salakka, Rakum, Snake fruit, Snake fruit, Salacca zalacca). A very popular fruit in Southeast Asia.

Teardrop-shaped fruits (up to 4 cm in diameter) are covered with a brown scaly skin, which to many really resembles snake skin. The peel is removed relatively easily, but it is covered with sharp small spikes that easily dig into the skin of the hands, so you need to clean it carefully, preferably with a knife.

Under the spiky skin is a beige pulp, which is segmented into several fragments, and several inedible seeds.
