Growing in Clusters (a Riddle)

We're a fruit with nut and bean,
With two shells -- yellow and green.
Glowing in clusters on top of trees
We lose our limbs in a balmy breeze.
Our inner shell, hairy and brown
Seldom breaks when we hit the ground.
We have a rind, husk, three small eyes,
Tasting so sweet beyond this disguise.
We hold meat and milk in one room,
Making oil, soap, rope, and a broom.

    Yes you are so correct InMyOwnLittleWorld, and I am surprised that you have been on such a roll. You still have 90-plus to go, lol. Best wishes and good luck!

    Good one as usual. Easier than some, but still good. You make these riddle-poems look so easy. I try it and can't maintain that air of mystery all the way to the end.

    Retribution, you are correct, but i have to delete this so others won't get the answer, and that's been a problem because many people have complained about finding the answer without wanting to. In the future, just make a comment without the answer and I.M. me with your answer. Peace and Best Regards, David

    You are correct, but there is a problem because i have to delete your comments so that others will not see it! Thanks for the attempt and i appeciate your comment, but could you come back and make a comment without giving the answer away because i've had many complaints by people who say that they saw the answer by accident and it ruined their challenge. Peace and Best Regards, David
