A coconut is the fruit of the coconut palm tree, which is classified as a member of the family Arecaceae. The term “coconut” can refer to the entire coconut palm, the seed, or the fruit, which is not a nut. The spelling cocoanut is an old-fashioned form of the word.<\/p>\n

Coconuts are generally considered tree nuts, but they may also be classified as a type of seed. The FDA considers coconuts to be tree nuts for the purpose of food labeling.<\/p>\n

Tree nuts, including coconuts, are often pesticided in order to protect the crop. Pesticides are chemicals that are used to kill or control pests. Some pesticides are more toxic than others, and some may be more harmful to human health than others.<\/p>\n
