00I fail to see how even the most self-righteous court could 'rule' on biological fact. Botanically, a coconut is a simple dry nut known as a fibrous drupe (www.agroforestry.net). Nuts are a kind of fruit. The part we eat (the endosperm) is within the seed of the nut/fruit.0-

0I expect it has something to do with taxes or subsidies, or some such. I seem to recall, although it may be an urban legend, that the tomato (technically a fruit) was deemed to be a vegetable by Congress.02br

let me start my saying "I don't want to start another controvesy by what I am about to say". But I was a little giggling inside when I saw the title"
Is coconut a fruit, nut or vegetable?". Aside from the headlined controversy, this came to my head

its actually a seed

my teacher once told me that the coconut is the largest seed...so it's a seed...

coconut is the largest seed.. therefore a coconut is a seed..
