Young coconuts ready to be opened! |
I got the chef's knife for $1 at the dollar store! Sharpen
it really well before opening a coconut. |
Start by peeling the outer skin of the coconut. |
Peel it all the way down to shell. |
Hit the coconut at a 45 degree angle with the knife a couple
times around the brown area. |
Pry the coconut open with your knife. Be careful! |
Yea! You got it open! |
Good job! |
Now pour the coconut water into a strainer with a bowl underneath
to catch the water. |
Place the coconut down and start getting the "meat"
out with a sturdy spatula. |
Don't be lazy, get everything out of there. That coconut cost
you more than a dollar! |
And there you go! You can use this coconut meat in smoothies,
custards, ice creams, and more! |
