Does a coconut have seeds?
Short Answer: Yes. Many people mistake that the coconut is a fruit but when the coconut is "born" is has many qualities of a fruit. Many people may also mistake the coconut as a nut but as the coconut matures it gains nut properties. Surprisingly the coconut is a seed. The coconut tree, Cocos nucifera, produces a nut that is the fruit of the tree and also the seed. Each nut will produce one seedling in favourable conditions.
