Fresh Coconut

Description

Country of origin: India

Coconut, derived from the mature fruit of the palm family; Cocos Nucifera, is an exceptionally resilient fruit. Exhibiting a nearly spherical to oval shape, coconuts typically measure between 5-10 inches in width. The fruit’s exterior is characterized by a rough, light green husk that gradually turns gray as the nut matures. The husk, approximately 1-2 inches thick, is composed of durable fibers, providing protection to the inner contents. Within the husk lies the hard shell, enclosing the nutritious and refreshing coconut water and the rich, creamy coconut flesh. This versatile and robust fruit has been cherished for centuries due to its various culinary, medicinal, and practical applications.
