" what does coco de mer taste like?

The seed of the Coco de Mer is the largest in the world. Each one weighs about the same as three bowling balls.

When foragers harvest the fruit early—while the seed is still forming—it contains a milky jelly that tastes like a sweet, slightly citrusy coconut with the texture of soft Turkish delight."

BTW - ya din' answer my question -

So - gonna assume you mean one KIND of nut,

and that would be cashews, although I like pistachios, brazil nuts and so on

I luv the flavor, and no shells to mess with
