If you’re looking to stay hydrated, the Jelly Nut / Young Coconut fruit will be your best friend. Jelly Nuts / Young Coconuts are known for the deliciously sweet coconut water they produce. They are also known as green coconuts. These coconuts have a vibrant green outside and a light grey translucent flesh that resembles the look of jelly – hence the name. The coconut flesh layer is very thin as the fruit is mostly filled with coconut water.
History
Coconuts originated somewhere in Indo-Malaya. They were spread as far as the Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and the Comoros during the Neolithic period.
