How To Cut Open A Coconut And Get Coconut Water (Video 1 Of A 4 Video Series)

Coconut

For years I have walked through the produce center and walked right by the coconuts. I have always wanted to buy a coconut, but I had no idea how to open them or what to do with it once I got it open! So awhile back, I set out to conquer my fear of a coconut. 🙂 To my surprise, it wasn’t that bad after all and was actually quite easy. Yes, it will take about 5 minutes to open and get the meat out, but it is well worth the effort!

Did you know that you can get all this from 1 coconut? Coconut water, coconut milk, dehydrated coconut flakes or fresh coconut flakes, coconut flour, coconut butter/cream? All these products for about $1.99 and a little work!

This week I am posting a 4 video series about coconuts. You will learn the following:

  • Video 1: How to open up a coconut and get coconut water
  • Video 2: How to make coconut milk and dehydrate coconut flakes
  • Video 3: How to make coconut flour
  • Video 4: How to make coconut butter or coconut cream

If you should have any questions about this first video, please feel free to leave them in the comment section below.

    I recently purchased two whole coconuts.  The first one I opened was horribly moldy inside and had a very bad smell.   It was heavy and full of stinky coconut water.   The second one I opened looked good, the water tasted good but the coconut meat had a strange taste.  I inspected them well before buying and still got bad ones.  Is there something more I need to know about how to pick good coconuts?

    I thought that would be harder to do.  I must try this.

    I live in the DR and here the coconuts are green not brown and hairy. This type of coconut contains more water. Will green coconuts work too?
