coconuts

Coconuts are the fruit of the coconut palm tree, primarily found in tropical regions. They have a tough outer shell called the husk, a hard inner shell, and contain white, edible flesh known as the meat, along with clear liquid called coconut water. The meat is rich in fats and nutrients, often used in cooking and baking, while the water provides hydration and minerals. Coconuts serve as a versatile resource, yielding oil, milk, and fiber, and are vital for local economies and diets in many tropical communities.
