coconut is considered as what?

[jonehank]

Hi,
I just want to know coconut falls into which category out of these-fruit,nut or vegetable?Any idea?
Thanks in advance.

I think its a seed!

[Millymollymandy]

So are all nuts and fruits all contain seeds!

I would say it was the fruit of the (er, coconut?) palm, rather than an actual nut. Interesting question!

[ElizabethBinary]

It's a seed, Nick is correct.

[Millymollymandy]

But as I said, all nuts are seeds, so why do we call them nuts?

[Millymollymandy]

And this person turns out to be a spammer after all. Go back to India Mr JH and worry about yer nuts there!

[ElizabethBinary]

Because all nuts are seeds but all seeds aren't nuts.
