What is this?

pinang

My son said this is the coconut. I told him what it is and he argued that it looks like a coconut.

When I was small, I used to make some money out of them. I would chopped this into half, dig out the nut, dry it under the sun and sell them. Hmm…I was so enterprising and hardworking, no? Or is that child labour? Anyway, thank God, I never chopped off my own fingers with the rusty parang (large chopper).

Please tell me you know that these are not coconuts.

    Those aren’t coconuts. I don’t know how a fresh pinang looks like, but I know for sure that’s not a coconut.
