Discovering some new food is a challenge that I almost always take.
Our super center has shelfs with baskets containing "exotic" fruits and veggies. For most people who shop there, they are exotic. But not for me. Today I was surprised when I saw a basket with snakefruits.
They are an exotic for me and I needed to try them. The kilo goes for €24,95 but I only took 3 pieces and paying €4,79 was worth it.
After I put my groceries in the fridge, I took a knife and peeled or broke the hard skin away. You can do it with your fingers, but the edges are sharp.
The fruit is build of 3 sections, like the garlic cloves in a bulb. Break one off and bite the top
Careful, in the middle is a glossy brown pit, that is not edible. It looks like a Litchi pit.
The consistency is a harder pear, it tastes like pear, litchi and pineapple.
Salak grows in Indonesia. It is a palm tree.
