Salak or Snakefruit Taste Test

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.
