You're curious about new fruits? Here's one you won't want to miss! The salak is a rare and delicious exotic fruit that grows only in the volcanic lands of Indonesia.
It is, of course, its astonishing skin reminiscent of reptile scales that has earned it the nicknames snake fruit and cobra fruit.
How does it taste? Its flesh is crunchy like an apple, sweet and fragrant like a pineapple. But its flavor is so complex and unique that it's hard to describe!
That's why we surveyed our community and here are the flavors people find in it: strawberry, pineapple, pear and honey... Yes, it's a bit of a mix of all of those! You can see why kids love it...
A pleasure which combines with many benefits. It's said to provide fiber, iron and antioxidants like vitamin C and flavonoids. That's why you feel your energy level rise after tasting salak.
And so as not to detract from its benefits, we at Jurassic Fruit have set up a supply chain for absolutely unprocessed salak from Indonesia. Our producers are located mainly on the islands of Java, Bali and Sumatra. We visit our producers' farms ourselves, and are touched every time by the hundreds of producer families who live with dignity thanks to this supply chain.
Ready for adventure? Now's the time to buy salak from Jurassic Fruit, a gesture that also supports our network of small Indonesian producers.
Mark and Mon are Jurassic Fruit partners in Thailand.
After developing a passion for healthy, living foods in the early 2000s, Mark moved from Germany to Sri Lanka, one of the world's fruit paradises. The problem: for him, Sri Lanka was too disorganized to organize fruit production and export.
So he decided to move to Thailand. He soon met Mon, a farmer's daughter and member of a network of small-scale producers. A few years later, they married and had a child. The problem in Thailand: the vast majority of growers - even the small ones - use chemicals extensively. They set up their own business and joined forces with Jurassic Fruit with a major goal in mind: to convert as many farmers as possible to organic farming in Thailand and help them add value to their produce, notably through Jurassic Fruit for Europe.
