How do you cut a coconut to drink water?

Published in Coconut Preparation 2 mins read

To cut a coconut for drinking its water, you can use a simple method based on the video reference.

Step-by-Step Guide

Here's how you can open a coconut to enjoy its refreshing water:

  1. Identify the Weak Points: According to the video, identify the top of the coconut which should have an area where you can pierce through using a sharp object such as a sturdy knife or a screwdriver.

  2. Create the Opening:

    • Using a sharp tool, create an opening. The video mentions "one, two, three, and four" locations to break through. You don't have to make four openings and the video reference does not mention how to make each of these openings. It is not specified how many openings are needed, just that you need at least one.
    • The goal is to create a hole or "lid".
  3. Remove the Lid: If the piece you've created doesn’t come off in one piece, remove it carefully. The video shows it should be easy to remove the piece.

  4. Enjoy the Water: Once the "lid" is off, the coconut is ready to pour and you can enjoy the water.
