Coconut endosperm is the tissue found inside the coconut fruit, commonly referred to as coconut meat or copra. This endosperm is rich in fats, proteins, and carbohydrates and provides a significant energy source. In the immature coconut, the endosperm is liquid, known as coconut water, which gradually solidifies into a white, fleshy substance as the coconut matures. This endosperm is consumed fresh or dried and is used in various culinary applications, such as cooking, baking, and making coconut milk.
