		The mango (Mangifera indica) is a drupe with an outer leathery skin (exocarp), a fleshy mesocarp and a hard, stony endocarp (pit) surrounding the large seed.
		The fruit of the coconut (Cocos nucifera) is technically a dry drupe composed of a thin outer layer (exocarp), a thick, fibrous middle layer (mesocarp), and a hard inner layer (endocarp) surrounding a large seed.
		In true nuts, the hard, indehiscent layer surrounding the seed is the ripened ovary wall or pericarp and the outer husk is composed of involucral or calyx tissue that is not part of the ovary wall or pericarp.

	cars - Drupe
		In botany, a drupe is a type of fruit in which an outer fleshy part (exocarp or skin and mesocarp or flesh) surrounds a shell (the pit or stone) of hardened endocarp with a seed inside.
		Drupes, with their sweet, fleshy outer layer, attract the attention of animals as a food, and the plant population benefits from the resulting dispersal of its seeds.
		The coconut is also a drupe, but the mesocarp is fibrous or dry (in this case, called a husk), so this type of fruit is classified as a simple dry fruit, fibrous drupe.

	Fruit Identification Outline
		The coconut is considered a dry drupe with a green, waterproof outer layer (exocarp), a thick, buoyant, fibrous husk (mesocarp) and a hard, woody, inner layer (endocarp) surrounding the large seed.
		The outer green husk resembles the outer pericarp (exocarp and mesocarp) of a drupe.
		For this reason, walnuts are sometimes referred to as dry drupes, and the hard shell surrounding the seed is considered to be the endocarp layer as in coconuts.

		The definitive characteristic of a drupe is that the hard, lignified stone (or pit) is derived from the ovary wall of the flower.
		Some flowering plants which produce drupes are coffee, jujube, mango, olive, avocado, most palms (including date, coconut and oil palms), pistachio and all members of the genus Prunus, including the almond (in which the mesocarp is somewhat leathery), apricot, cherry, nectarine, peach, and plum.
		Unlike other drupes, the coconut seed is unlikely to be dispersed by being swallowed by fauna, due to its large size.

	Steve's place - You Are What You Eat
		Drupes, like this peach (Prunus persica), have three distinct layers: a skin (exocarp), here downy, a fleshy mesocarp (the bit you eat), and a rock hard stone (endocarp) that protects the seeds from overenthusiastic consumers: fruit are designed to get seeds distributed alive.
		Drupes are fleshy fruits that have an outer rind (the exocarp), surrounding a fleshy or fibrous mesocarp, with a very hard inner stone (the endocarp) which surrounds the seed(s) itself.
		We also eat the mesocarp of the drupes (or drupe-like fruits) of the date palm, avocado, rose apple, olive, mango, lychee, rambutan and longan (technically the edible part of the latter three are arils rather than mesocarps).

	De-stoning and simultaneously filling a drupe (US4204467)
		A device for extracting the stone of a drupe and simultaneously injecting a filling into the stone cavity comprises a claw member comprised of three to four hollow prongs through which a flowable filling can be injected.
		The prongs are adapted to be jabbed into a drupe such as a peach, to be closed about the stone thereof to firmly grip it, and to extract or tear the stone from the drupe while a filling is being injected via the prongs into the drupe.
		(e) means for effecting a linear reciprocating motion of said claw member to and from said drupe with entry of said prongs into said drupe about the stone thereof on the stroke to said drupe and extraction of said stone on the stroke from said drupe;

		On the left is a peach pit from a modern peach and on the right is a lengthwise section through a fossilized drupe that is around 50 million years old, from the middle Eocene of southern British Columbia.
		They are made up of the same types of cells as the drupe endocarp above and are also similar to the cells that made up the tough tissue of an apple core.
		The lines are little thin areas or channels called pits that occur in between thick areas of the cell walls.
