This fruit has a thorny green shell with soft yellow flesh around the seed. It has certain grades and the ones that seem to be the most popular are the ones that come from Thailand, which give out a strong fragrance, which most foreigners find repulsive. The workers in the plantations never have the need to wear helmets when they go round during harvesting season to pick up the fruits which have fallen from the trees(As opposed to the coconut which has no 'eyes').
