Coconut

The coconut is the archetypical tropical fruit. Hard in shape, with a brown colour and a hairy look. Officially it is not a fruit: the nut is the seed of the coconut palm.

The three 'eyes' at the bottom of each fruit are typical for coconuts. Coconuts contain delicious coconut milk that can be drunk straight from the fruit. The soft and sweet flesh is also a delicacy.

Transport and storage: Cool transport and storage is preferred for coconuts. Maintain a temperature between 5 and 15˚C.
