The coconut owes its name to a monkey's face — or rather, to the spots on that face. It was because of similar spots on its shell that the coconut got its name.
It's believed that the very first coconut grew in Malaysia — that's where the first coconut palm appeared. As a rule, the coconut palm grows in soil that contains sand. In other words, a coconut grows on a sandy beach. The coconut floats calmly on water and could be an ideal material for making watercraft — if only its shape were better suited to the purpose. Falling into the water, coconuts can travel long distances carried by the waves. And all of the coconut's beneficial properties are preserved in the process.
A coconut itself can reach two and a half kilograms in weight. There are three pores in a coconut's shell. One of these pores can eventually, under the right conditions, grow into a coconut seed. Inside a young coconut there is an endosperm, which over time turns from a clear, fairly liquid substance into a thick white milk — coconut milk. Later the
coconut milk
hardens, turning into coconut flesh.
Up to one hundred and twenty coconuts can ripen on a single coconut tree at a time. It takes about ten months for coconuts to become fully mature.
While coconut flesh is used heavily in cooking, and coconut milk in cosmetics, coconut fibers go into making furniture and mattresses.
It's worth clarifying that the coconut is mistakenly classified as a nut. The coconut is not a nut at all. By all of its distinctive features, a coconut could be called a "hardened cherry."
