Malaysia is rich in tropical fruits. It is home to 370 species of native fruits, among which are the durian, rambutan, cempedak, langsat and salak. These are cultivated in gardens, orchards and large estates across the country. In most cases, fruiting takes place twice annually, with the exception of salak, which fruits once a year. While mostly eaten fresh, these fruits are also cooked in a variety of ways and made into other types of food products.
