Is a coconut a fruit or a nut??!
Me and my mum are having an argument!. I seem to think that a coconut is a fruit, but she thinks its a nut!. Does anyone know what it is!?!?Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
Obviously, coconut is a fruit!. The word 'nut' does not necessary mean it falls under 'a nut' category!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
a fruit!. (which is a nut)!.
Botanically, a coconut is a simple dry nut known as a fibrous drupe!.
In botany, a drupe is a fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp, or skin; and mesocarp, or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit or stone) of hardened endocarp with a seed inside!. These fruits develop from a single carpel, and mostly from flowers with superior ovaries!. The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower!.
Some flowering plants that produce drupes are coffee, jujube, mango, olive, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), pistachio and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond (in which the mesocarp is somewhat leathery), apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, and plum!.

It's a fruit!
The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera) is a member of the Family Arecaceae (palm family)!. It is the only species in the genus Cocos, and is a large palm, growing to 30 m tall, with pinnate leaves 4-6 m long, pinnae 60-90 cm long; old leaves break away cleanly leaving the trunk smooth!. The term coconut refers to the fruit of the coconut palm!. An alternate spelling is cocoanut!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

coco'nut' not coco'fruit'!.
Though its name suggests that it is a nut, I've always regarded coconut as a fruit!. When the coconut is young, it has properties like fruit, and as it matures, it becomes more nutty!. But in fact it is not a nut or a fruit; it is a seed!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I'd rate coconut as "plant" in tropical asia countries has a lot of plants with very sweet water in them such as, sugar palm, sugar canne, I'd not call them fruit cuz they don't look like fruit nor the nut, they are just plant with sweet water!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
