I've just looked on wikipedia also, and it says that a coconut is a simple dry nut known as a fibrous drupe!.
Coconut meat contains less fat than other dry nuts such as peanuts and almonds, it is noted for its high amount of saturated fat!. Approximately 90% of the fat found in coconut meat is saturated, a proportion exceeding that of foods such as lard, butter, and tallow!.
Coconut meat also contains less sugar and more protein than popular fruits such as bananas, apples and oranges, and it is relatively high in minerals such as iron, phosphorus and zinc!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
