Coconut trees are considered wonder trees by mankind. Not only the fruit, but the whole palm, is reported to be very useful. Coconuts provide coconut water and the flesh inside the nut. The water and flesh supply us with essential nutrients that can keep our stomachs full and give us energy to increase endurance. The scientific name of coconut is Cocos nucifera and it belongs to the Arecaceae or palm family. The fruit or the seed is technically known as a drupe, and it is not a nut, despite the name.
