salacca
Salacca, commonly known as snake fruit, is a tropical fruit native to Southeast Asia. It gets its name from its reddish-brown scaly skin, resembling snake scales. The fruit grows in clusters and has a sweet, tangy flavor with a crunchy texture. Inside, the flesh is typically yellow or white and contains a seed.
Salacca is often enjoyed fresh, but it can also be used in salads, desserts, or beverages. Rich in vitamins and antioxidants, it is considered a healthy snack. The fruit is popular in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia, where it is cultivated and sold in local markets.
