Coquito Nuts
A feather-leaved palm (Jubaea chilensis) native to Chile, having a thick trunk from which is obtained a sugary sap used for making wine and a kind of honey, and widely cultivated as an ornamental in warm dry regions. [Spanish, diminutive of coco, coco palm, from Portuguese côco; see coconut.] (http://www.thefreedictionary.com/coquito). Coquito nuts look and taste like minature coconuts. They have a brown exterior and a white interior with a hallow center. They measure out to be about 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter. They are completely edible (raw or cooked), and have a very similar flavor to coconuts. They are crunchy, yet soft texture and have an almond like sweetness.
