The Tropical Coconut Tree

Have you ever seen a tall tree with large, green leaves and big, brown fruits hanging from it? That’s a coconut tree, a remarkable plant that grows near the sea in tropical places. Coconut trees can reach up to 30 meters (about 98 feet) tall. Imagine, that’s as tall as an 8-story building!

A Fruit Full of Surprises

Coconuts are not just ordinary fruits; they’re filled with clear, sweet water and have a white, meaty inside called coconut meat. People around the world enjoy drinking coconut water on hot days because it’s refreshing. The meat inside can be eaten fresh or used to make delicious dishes and sweets.

Coconuts Around the World

In some parts of the world, coconuts are used for more than just eating. They’re also turned into products like coconut oil, which is used in cooking and making soaps and lotions. Even the hard shell of the coconut has a use; it can be turned into beautiful bowls or musical instruments.

Coconuts and Their Uses

Did you know that coconuts can float on water? This special ability means they can travel across oceans and grow on different tropical islands and coasts. Long ago, sailors and explorers used coconuts to carry messages across the sea.
