How to open a coconut?

Answer 1

To open a coconut, you can follow these steps:

1. Locate the "eyes" of the coconut, which are the three small indentations on one end.
2. Use a screwdriver or a similar tool to pierce one of the eyes to create a hole.
3. Drain the coconut water from the hole into a container.
4. Wrap the coconut in a towel or cloth and hit it with a hammer or a heavy object along its circumference.
5. Continue hitting the coconut until it cracks open.
6. Use a knife to separate the coconut meat from the shell.
7. Rinse the coconut meat and it is ready to eat or use in recipes.
