AguajefruitThis unusual fruit is covered in reddish scales, which must be peeled away to get to the flesh. Popular in the Amazon jungle, the fruit is often eaten by scraping the flesh over your bottom teeth to separate it from a large internal seed. It is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, and the pulp is also occasionally used to treat burns. When fermented, it makes a delicious, exotic wine!

We have this kind of fruit in Malaysia, though the flesh is less yellowish, almost white. We call it 'salak'. Is it the same thing? I'm pretty sure it's a matter of "different culture, different names".
I love salak. It's sweet, with a hint of bitterness. The tree looks like a mini palm-oil tree
There's a so called snake fruit in Bali that looks like Aguajefruit. Its brown and skin looks like snake skin.
Almost all of the fruits listed here are from Asia
