A coconut is not as difficult to open as you might think. It's enough to know a couple of secrets.
How to open a coconut correctly
First, find the three holes of the fruit. These are vulnerable and weak points in the nut that will help it crack.
Take a knife and use something to pick them apart. Then use a thin and sharp knife blade to poke these three holes into the coconut.
Then shake the nut and pour the liquid into the glass through the hole. After this, feel free to chop or cut the fruit with a knife or kitchen hatchet.
How to use coconut
Coconut water can be used as a ready-made drink or added to cocktails.
If the coconut is not hard, simply run a spoon or table knife between the flesh and the shell.
This way you will extract the main part of the nut.
Coconut pulp can be used both in cooking and cosmetology.
For example, you can extract coconut oil through a sieve. This can be used for leather or frying food.
You can also make coconut chips or shavings.
Try to push the tool as deep as possible to separate the pulp in one large piece.
The pulp can be added to almost any desserts and baked goods - cookies, cakes, biscuits, smoothies, salads, ice cream.
