Salak

Most Salak, also known as snake fruit, is eaten fresh, but it can also be candied, pickled, juiced, canned, dried, fried into chips, boiled with sugar into a sweet spread, or made into syrup. But first, you need to know how to properly peel it so that you don’t end up with cuts on your fingers. So, to open it, start by pinching the tip to break the skin, carefully pull the tip off, and then peel against the grain of the scales to reveal the rest of the flesh. The yellow-white lobes of pulp have a very fine, film-like layer that can also be cleaned away, almost like peeling a boiled egg, and removing this coating can actually remove some of the astringent taste. Snake fruit pairs well with nuts and other tropical fruits, and its sweetly sour flavor works well in pies and jams. Be sure to avoid the seeds. In Thailand, Snake fruit is a popular on-the-go snack from street venders, and locals will sometimes dip the fresh fruit into a mixture of sugar and salt. In Indonesia, young, unripe Snake fruit is used in rujak, also called rojak in Malaysia, which is a traditional Southeast Asian fruit and vegetable salad dish with spicy palm sugar dressing.
