In Southeast Asia, there is a kind of fruit called "Salak", which is called "snake skin fruit" in Chinese. The top is round and the bottom is round, and the reddish-brown skin is like scales of snakeskin. One is only as big as an egg, and many people dare not eat this kind of fruit. Peel off the skin, the sound of peeling is really like snake skin, and then tear off a thin layer of skin to see the pulp.

The flesh of snakeskin is white and yellow, but it feels crisp when bitten. But in different places, the varieties produced are slightly different, some taste bad, and the meat is hard and sour. The snakeskin produced in Bali, Indonesia is the best. The meat is sweet and sour, not bitter, not very dry and hard. The flesh is full, crisp like an apple, with a small core and a faint aroma. It is said that snakeskin also has beauty function, so it has been used as a skin care product recently.

There is also a kind of snakeskin in Thailand, which is longer. The pulp looks a bit like durian, with a big core, but it tastes good. You can see it occasionally in fruit shops, but the price is not reasonable.
