Raw Meaty Bones

No, if that peel would be unsuitable as food for humans - for instance melon and banana peel and the outer leaves of artichokes. Let's keep things in perspective.

FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions - Tropical Traditions
No. Young (immature) coconuts have a very short shelf life before they start turning moldy (a couple of days).
