Detailed Solution

The fruit with the biggest seed in the world is the Coco de Mer (Lodoicea maldivica), also known as the double coconut. Fruits come in different shapes and sizes, and their seeds vary greatly too. While some fruits like bananas have tiny seeds, others have very large ones. Among all, the seed of the Coco de Mer palm holds the record for being the largest.

About Coco de Mer
