There are three types of salak that are native to Jogja area developed by Pak Cokro. Namely SALAK PONDOH, HONEY SALAK and GADING SALAK. Everyone has their own specialties. 

The first pondoh salak is the most famous and popular type of salak in the community. Generally, pondoh salak has the smallest size compared to other popular salak-salak. He used to sell dompolan (still fused with fruit stem ).

Undoubtedly, salak pondoh is the best salak in Indonesia. Salak which is widely cultivated in the Merapi area, Sleman is also widely distributed to various supermarkets. Even the distinctive sweet taste is famous to foreign countries and often hunted by foreign tourists who often come to the foot of Mount Merapi. 

The flesh is sweet and the texture of the flesh is crunchy. Although not as sweet as honey, but it is precisely that that makes pondoh salak so popular. Well, the sweet taste is fitting and not at all a shoe that makes pondoh salak suitable for all tongues.

The second type of salak is honey salak. Not inferior to pondoh salak, honey salak is also sought after. That's why Pak Cokro also plants this type.

The water content of honey is more than pondoh salak. It tastes sweet like honey, the flesh is yellowish, crispy and soft textured.

For the characteristics of the outside, the skin of honey is thin and shiny. The shape of the fruit is triangular or oval. Salak honey can bear fruit throughout the year, without knowing the season.

And the last type is Ivory Salak. Ivory salad can be distinguished based on skin color and size of the fruit. Ivory salad is yellow – ivory and shiny, medium to large size.

The taste of ivory salad is a little more sour, commonly sought by people who do not like sweet.

Ivory salad has a larger size compared to the size of pondoh and honey salak. The color is also different, namely yellowish white like elephant ivory, so it is also called salak bule. 

But this salak is said to be efficacious and used as one of the therapeutic treatment, diabetes, cholesterol and stroke. This makes ivory salak has a higher price than pondoh salak and honey salak.

All tour groups harvest salak prepare. In order not to be too flashy indeed not all cars are used. 

Young people like when to the sunrise location only use two cars only. The old men are like that. Mr. Basalamah and the lady join Lesmana sir's car. Mr. Cokro is in the car, Mr. Siswojo.

There are three gardens that they will go to. Because each type of salak is different locations. This is so that there is no cross-marriage so that the taste of the fruit does not change.  

The first location that the group came to was the Ivory Salak garden. Salak yellow and sour taste is still a prima donna of income for the planters because the price is actually more expensive than honey and pondoh salak. That is because this type of salak has different medicinal properties with honey and pondoh salak.

Farouq the photographer in addition to his hands deftly take photos, his mouth is also the most frenzied. All the things he commented on. There are lots of candid photos that he took.


“The fruit is beautiful yes,” bu Basalamah compliments the shape of the color and size of this ivory salad.

“Sadly sour taste,” sahut bu Lesmana who is tasting the harvest.

“Iya but much sought after because it is good for health,” sahut bu Basalamah again. Mothers are gathering by themselves.

“Bener also yes. Although if cooked content must shrink a little due to heating,” bu Lesmana which doctors justify the way of consumption after processing.

“Iya, the alternative was only made sweets or pickles. Now many are trying to be sedated.” bu Tiwi gave a description.

"Then I want to ask the young for me to try stir-fry,” sahut bu Basalamah curious.

Bu Tiwi immediately asked an employee to harvest one young dompol in order to cook.

The second location is the honey garden. The sweetest of the three types that pack Cokro cultivation. 

For those who do not like sweet, this type is less liked. “This is really like honey yes, very sweet,” Ilham who is tasting freshly harvested salak praise the sugar content of honey salad. 

“It's better than ivory ones huh. Sweet,” sir Lesmana came to give the assessment. 

“Depends on who consumes Sir. Those who like sweet will choose honey. But who like sweet and cashier prefer salak pondoh even though the size of the fruit is very small.” replied Mr. Cokro.

“Well that need to make medicine will buy ivory salad,” further pack Cokro garden owner. 

“This directly there is buyer of every harvest?” ask Mr. Farhat. He saw the besiegers had waited without the need for the planters to peddle their crops to the market.

“Iya, like fish and cow milk, the garden results also directly there is a container so we do not have to bother marketing."

"If the price he offers is too low and far from the market price, we immediately contact other prospective buyers. So that the bullies here do not dare to press the price. Because their competitors are also very many,” replied Mr. Cokro.

“What if no one takes the harvest?” ask Lesmana sir curious.

“PKK movers mom is ready to take. They will be processed into dry sweets, wet or pickled sweets,” pack Cokro answer questions pack Lesmana. 

“The bottom is not to be afraid not to sell yes,” pak Farhat re-open salak somehow.
