How to open a coconut and how to eat it

Coconuts are mainly produced in tropical areas and are widely planted in Hainan, Taiwan and other places in my country. Coconuts are generally spherical or ovoid in shape, and contain pulp and coconut water. Both pulp and coconut water are foods with very high nutritional value. However, for a fruit like coconut, many people don't know how to open it. Below, we will introduce how to eat coconuts.

How to open a coconut

1. Before opening the coconut, we need to pour out the coconut water. There are three natural holes on the coconut. We use a screwdriver to drill through the holes to open the holes and pour out the coconut water. Next, we need to open the coconut shell. First, prepare a bowl, hold the coconut in one hand, and hit the coconut with the back of a knife in the other hand. After the coconut is opened, the remaining coconut juice will flow into the prepared bowl.

2. In addition to the three eyes, the shell of the coconut also has several natural equators. We can use coconuts to hit some hard places, such as steps. Note that we use these natural equators of coconuts to hit, which makes it easier to knock the coconut open. After the coconut is opened, you can see the white flesh inside.
