Coconut Shell

The coconut shell is the strongest part of the coconut fruit. It is sandwiched between the flesh or meat of the coconut and coconut husk. The coconut meat inside will get easily damaged when the shell is broken. This is because the shell is the protective layer of the coconut.

It is considered as a God’s gift because you can use all its parts. There is absolutely no waste. While the tender coconut water is a health drink that is truly refreshing, the coconut meat is nutritious and tasty and can be used to make delicious curries. The coconut husk is used to make ropes, carpets, doormats, brushes, car seat covers, and bristles.

While the coconut meat is smooth and milky white, the husk is a fibrous material. It is rough and won’t get damaged easily if it gets into contact with water.
