These are fully matured coconuts but while de-husking, the husk is left intact over the "eyes" of the coconut. This is a sensitive area, and by protecting it we can increase the shelf life of the coconut as the area susceptible to decay is protected.
Mature coconuts are ovoid or ellipsoid in shape, 30–45 cm (12–18 inches) in length and 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) in diameter. They have a thick fibrous husk surrounding the single-seeded nut. A hard shell encloses the embryo with its abundant endosperm, composed of both meat and liquid.
