Saravita is a beloved, brightly colored Sri Lankan street snack. It consists of freshly grated coconut mixed with sugar and vibrant food coloring, wrapped neatly inside a mild betel leaf.

It is completely safe to eat. The betel leaf provides a slightly peppery contrast to the intensely sweet, crunchy coconut filling, making it a very unique and highly addictive local treat.

You will easily spot vendors selling them on the beaches and along the Galle Face Green promenade. They carry the snacks on trays illuminated by small, battery powered lights in the evenings.
