What do coconuts grow on then?

 

Ship coconut shells half way round the world and then tell the locals it’s eco because it’s not a tree. Vacuous horseshit.

 

Some where on there its got to say, It may contain nuts.

Cover it in fire retardant to make it safe for shipping across the globe

On arrival in UK treat it with propellants and bag into "self lighting" bags

Dunno if this is true for coconut but  the supermarket stuff I had was hard to light compared to stuff I got off a local maker

I didn't know that but not at all surprised. If you've ever cracked open a coconut shell; it's an extremely hard material. Much harder than wood for instance.
