Experience the unique delight of Indonesian Salak Pondoh, a premium variety of snake fruit celebrated for its distinctly sweet flavor and satisfyingly crisp, apple-like texture. Unlike other varieties, Pondoh has minimal acidity, offering a clean taste profile often compared to a blend of sweet pear, lychee, and a hint of pineapple. The fruit is encased in a brittle, scale-like skin that is easy to peel, revealing firm, white lobes of flesh. Harvested from the fertile volcanic soils of Java, our Salak Pondoh is a sought-after exotic delicacy, perfect for fresh snacking, inclusion in fruit salads, or as a unique addition to dessert menus for the global export market.

Good flavor, some size inconsistency: The Pondoh Salak has a great crunchy texture and a nice flavor profile. Our shipment had some variation in fruit size, but the overall quality and taste were very good. Our customers enjoy it.
Very good, a few were underripe: The shipment of Salak was very good overall. The fruit was crunchy and sweet. We did have a small percentage that was a bit underripe and tart, but it was not a major issue.
Good but requires careful handling: The Salak is a great fruit, but the skin is prickly and it requires careful handling to avoid bruising. The flavor and texture, however, are excellent.
Good, but requires careful sorting: This is a good, sweet Salak. We find that we need to sort them by size upon arrival for our retail packs, but the flavor and texture are what our customers expect. A solid product overall.
Good, but ripeness can vary: Salak Pondoh is a great product. The flavor and crunch are always there. Sometimes a few fruits in the case are less ripe than others, but it's a minor issue. Overall, we are happy.
Great taste, but appearance varies: The taste of the Salak is great, very refreshing and crunchy. The appearance of the fruit varies a bit in size and color, but the taste is always consistent.
