How do I open the coconut? How to open hard shell coconut and green coconut respectively? I'll teach you a few tricks.

There are two kinds of coconuts, hard shell and green coconut. It is native to India, the coast of Southeast Asia and the Caribbean. If you buy an unopened complete coconut, many people don't know how to open it, but when you master the skills, you will find that it is not that difficult. Let's ask the editor to teach you.

How to open the hard coconut shell

1. Empty the coconut milk first

If you buy a coconut with coconut brown, you must first remove the coconut palm, and then you will see three small black spots on the surface of the exposed coconut shell. The coconut shell is very hard and not easy to break, but these small black spots are its weakness. You can poke it with chopsticks, and then pour out the coconut water and preserve it (these are the essence).

2. Knock it open with a hammer

After emptying the coconut water in the coconut, you can hit the coconut shell with the back of the knife or hammer. When tapping, you need to hit longitudinally along the texture of the coconut shell surface, if it is horizontal, it will be more difficult to break. When it is broken to a certain extent, try to break it with your hands, because if you break it too much, the pulp will mix with the hard shell and it will be more difficult to clean up when eating.

3. If there is no hammer

When you want to eat coconut meat but don't have tools, you can pack the coconut shell in a plastic bag, then rotate it a few times to keep it at the bottom of the bag, and finally wave the plastic bag to let the coconut shell hit the hard bottom. Usually, when the coconut shell hits the cement two or three times, it will break, and then you can peel off and eat the coconut meat as much as you want.

How to open the green coconut?

1. First of all, you should have a green coconut. If you want to drink the coconut water directly after opening it, you might as well put the green coconut in the refrigerator and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Then find a stronger knife, such as the kitchen chopper, cut across the head, cut off a shell, the shell of the green coconut is not hard, it is not difficult to cut.

2. Use the corner of the chopper blade near the handle to cut into the top of the coconut with some strength. On the Tianling cover of the coconut, we need to cut four knives around the midpoint to form a quadrilateral, and then remove the quadrilateral shell to drink the coconut water inside. If the knife can't cut through the coconut shell at once, you might as well cut a few more times in place to make sure it is cut through. It's best to do this on the edge of the kitchen sink. If coconut water spurts out, it's less likely to contaminate clothes.

3, after the first knife, turn the coconut horizontally 90 degrees, next to the first knife. Then turn 90 degrees and cut again. A total of four knives, connected into a quadrilateral.

4, after the four knives, put the knife aside and lift the lid of the quadrilateral you dug.

5. Now you can intubate and suck juice directly. Of course, you can also pour it out. If you want to keep the coconut water cool, you can add some ice to it.

The coconut meat inside should be very soft and can be dug up directly with a metal spoon. If not, you can cut the coconut in half to get the coconut meat, which can also be eaten, such as beating it into coconut paste, which is often used in West Point.
