The coconut flesh layer is very thin as the fruit is mostly filled with coconut water. History Coconuts originated somewhere in Indo-Malaya. They were spread as far as the Pacific Islands, Madagascar, and the Comoros during the Neolithic period. Regions Coconuts in general are mostly found in Indonesia.
