Today I learned how to open a
coconut at the Haleiwa Farmers Market in Hawaii.
To open coconut, you'll need a machete if you want to enjoy pure coconut water from a young green coconut.
If you want to know how to open a coconut at home, drill out the two eyes with a corkscrew, screwdriver or hammer and drain the fresh coconut water into a cup. Next, holding the coconut with the eyes on one end and stem on the other, whack it a few times with a cleaver or machete.
It should break in half.
Thanks to Taste Deez Nuts in Haleiwa for providing the demonstration on opening a coconut.
