coconuts
Hairy tropical fruits
Coconuts are the large, hard-shelled fruits of the coconut palm, containing white flesh and a liquid called coconut water or coconut milk.
The outer husk is fibrous, the inner shell woody, and the meat inside can be eaten fresh, dried, or processed into oil, cream, and flour.
Coconut is a staple ingredient across tropical cuisines.
In vulgar slang, coconuts refers to a woman's breasts or, offensively, to a person of color perceived as culturally assimilated to whiteness—brown on the outside, white on the inside.
