List of largest seeds



The largest seed in the world is the coco de mer, the seed of a palm tree. It can reach about 30 cm long, and weigh up to 18 kg. The coco de mer, which produces a giant, dark brown seed, has been protected by the government of the Seychelles because of its rarity – the tree can grow up to 31 m tall, with leaves measuring 6 m long and 3.6 m wide. Kigelia or "sausage seed" (botanical name Kigelia africana) can produce pods weighing up to 12 kg, and 12-20 cm long, but the pod contains seeds.
