     Most people recognize coconuts as being round and hairy with hard shells. But did you know that even though they look like nuts and their name makes them sound like a nut, they are really fruits? Coconuts grow on palm trees that can grow to be 90 feet tall, and each tree can actually make 75 coconuts a year! Coconuts aren’t just useful as fruit, but they can also produce oil, juice, and milk!
