Salacca is a genus of about 20 species of palms native to Southeast Asia and the eastern Himalayas. They are dioecious (with the exception of Salak Bali) and pollinated by Curculionidae beetles.
They are very short-stemmed palms, with leaves up to 6-8 m long. The leaves have a spiny petiole; in most species, they are pinnate with numerous leaflets, but some species, notably S. magnifica, have undivided leaves. The fruit grows in clusters at the base of the plants, and is edible in many species, with a reddish-brown scaly skin covering a white pulp and one to two large inedible seeds.
The Salak (S. zalacca) or snake fruit is the species most widely grown for its fruit; the firm white pulp has a slightly acidic taste. The skin of the snake fruit has a unique texture not unlike that of a snake's skin, rough to the touch in one direction but smooth in the other.
Salak or Snake Fruit (Salacca zalacca) is a species of palm tree (family Arecaceae) native to Java and Sumatra in Indonesia. It is cultivated in other regions of Indonesia as a food crop, and reportedly naturalized in Yogyakarta, Bali, Lombok, Timor, Maluku, and Sulawesi. Snake fruit taste is sweet with a little sour after taste. It's crunchy like an apple but not as soft and it's watery but not as watery as the pears.
