SalakAlso called the snake fruit due to the beautiful pattern on the fruit, this is a tropical palm from Bali in Indonesia. 
The brittle thin skin is removed to reveal yellow/white flesh which has flavours reminiscent of Granny Smith apple, strawberry and pineapple. The small palm is very prickly, it has a tendancy to blow over in strong tropical storms where it reroots itself, so it can move from the place it was originally planted
Suited to tropical areas only.
