The answer is Coconuts.

Coconuts are tropical fruits with an extremely hard, fibrous outer shell and a delightful inside. They grow on coconut palm trees, which flourish in warm, coastal areas. Inside the tough outer shell is a white, edible meat called “coconut meat” and a clear, sweet liquid called “coconut water.”

 Both are extremely nutritious and versatile, as coconut water is hydrating and coconut meat is full of healthy fats. Coconuts can be used in seemingly endless ways, including grated in desserts, pressed for oil, or combined with milk for curries and smoothies. 

The husk and shell can build value through items such as ropes, brushes, and handicrafts. It is also a symbol of purity and sustenance in many cultures; Coconuts truly live up to their title as the “tree of life.”
