Salacca Zalacca
The Salacca Zalacca, commonly known as Snakefruit, originates from Malaysia and Indonesia. Its thin, scaly skin resembles that of a snake, giving it its nickname. The flesh of the fruit is crunchy and sweet, similar to an apple but with a more intense flavor. The plants are dioecious, requiring both male and female trees to produce fruit. It takes about four years from sowing for the first fruits to appear, and the plant can continue to bear fruit for up to 50 years. Snakefruit plants grow to about 4 meters in height and are characterized by large spines.
