How to open a coconut at home

Coconut meat tastes very tender, and coconut juice tastes very sweet. Although coconuts have high nutritional value, many people don’t know how to open coconuts after buying them home, and think that opening coconuts is a very difficult thing. In fact, there are many ways to open coconuts in daily life. As long as you master the skills of opening coconuts, it is usually very simple to open a coconut.

How to open a coconut at home?

The simplest method is the hammer method

1. Use a screwdriver to make a hole in the eye of the coconut, and then pour out the coconut juice.

2. Then put the coconut in a plastic bag, place it on the floor, and hit it with a heavy hammer.

3. Although it is not Thor’s hammer, it is also invincible.

Blunt knife strike

1. Hold the coconut in your palm and place it over a bowl. After opening, the remaining coconut juice will flow into the bowl.

2. Pay attention to the surface of the leaf, through the natural gaps between the three eyes, aim at the "equator" of these leaves, and hit hard with the blunt edge of a heavier knife. While hitting, turn the coconut with your hand so that the knife can hit in a circle.

3. Keep beating until the coconut is completely separated. As long as you tap it accurately, after a few turns, the coconut will be divided into two equal halves.

Ape Man Dharma

1. If you don't have a heavier knife, hold the leaf in your hand and hit it against a hard surface, such as a step or something raised, and the hitting position should be along the natural "equator" of the leaf.

2. Just like the apes before the invention of stone tools, they kept smashing and smashing until finally, the ape grinned and the coconut shell cracked.

Ice and Fire

1. Use a metal barbecue fork to pierce the eye of the coconut and pour out the coconut juice.

2. Place the leaves in the oven and bake at 90° for about 15 minutes. Or you can put it in the freezer for 15 minutes.

No matter what method you use, the skin and flesh inside the leaves will loosen up - who can resist ice and fire?

Tip: When the coconut juice is still inside and the coconut is completely unopened, do not bake it in the oven, as it will explode and fall to pieces.

3. Hold a coconut in one hand and a sledgehammer in the other. Hammer along the "equator" of the leaf.

4. Finally, it opened crisply.

5. Now you can easily take out the coconut meat - because of the ice and fire steps above, the flesh is completely loose.

Brick method: After pouring out the coconut juice, put the remaining coconut shells in a clean plastic bag and smash them directly with a brick, a stool, a wrench, etc.
