Product Description:
Meet the Fruit That Looks Like a Snake, Tastes Like a Dream.
Snake Fruit — known as Salak (Salacca zalacca) — is one of Southeast Asia’s most captivating exotic fruits, and once you crack open its signature reddish-brown scaly skin, you’ll understand the obsession. Native to the tropical palms of Java and Sumatra, Indonesia, this striking little fruit is now landing fresh at your door through Pardess Farms.
🐍 What Does Snake Fruit Taste Like?
Inside its tough, scaly shell are three ivory lobes — reminiscent of garlic cloves — each holding a juicy, sweet-tart flesh with a satisfying crunch.  The flavor is best described as a blend of pineapple, citrus, and apple  — bright, refreshing, and unlike anything you’ve tasted before. On the palate, the natural sweetness evolves into a slight tartness with a subtle nutty finish. 
🌿 Nutrition Highlights
Snake Fruit earns its place in any wellness routine. It’s a solid source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, B vitamins, potassium, calcium, and iron.  Salak contains five times more beta-carotene than watermelon, mango, or guava  — making it a serious antioxidant powerhouse in a compact package. At around 82 calories per serving with high fiber, beneficial polyphenols, and essential minerals, it’s a low-impact, high-reward snack.

• Iron — 3.9mg (32% DRI)

📦 How to Eat Snake Fruit
