- ✓ How to separate the Coconut flesh from the shell is also demonstrated in this video.
This very unique method & technique of cracking open a coconut has been developed by us after much trial & error.
Looking at the amount of views, likes & comments by viewers; we can confidently say that this is one of the best methods yet seen on CZcams (or anywhere else) of how to crack open a mature, dry, brown Coconut without losing a single drop of water (also it's not as messy as the other methods: i.e. drilling into it making holes & then aimlessly whacking it with a hammer leaves behind a lot of small messy bits).
The Coconut Palm is the King of trees - every single thing from the tree is usable.
Though its name suggests that it is a nut, we've always regarded coconut as a fruit. Is a Coconut a nut or a fruit?..........it is in fact a seed.
Here are some incredible and astonishing Coconut facts:
* The leaves can be used for roofing in the hot temperature to provide cover from the scorching heat of the sun,
* The actual coconut in it's developing stage (whilst still green) when the flesh of the coconut is still quite thin & soft and so it is very easy to eat. The primary reason for picking the fruit early is for the very sterile water which fills up the whole coconut (the water will diminish away gradually feeding the white flesh of the developing coconut). The Coconut Water is isotonic i.e. it replaces lost energy after exercise.
* The young green coconut water is so sterile that it can be used as a drip.
* The green husk of the can be dried out for burning for heat & also for cooking; the husk also makes an excellent scourer for when you do your washing up.
* The outer hairs of the Coconut can be used to make rope, floor mats, doormats, brushes, mattresses, upholstery padding + much more.
* When the Coconut is fully matured it develops a hard outer shell and the flesh inside becomes hard & the white flesh can be eaten as it is or can be grated and then be used in cooking or sweets can be made.
Unless it is picked, a matured coconut eventually drops from the tree. The fully developed hard shell does not crack easily. Dry and brown, the coconut may sit underneath the tree for months and appear as if it were dead, until one day a green shoot pushes its way out of the shell. The whole time the old coconut has been sitting under the tree, changes have been slowly taking place inside. At one end of the coconut (where the eyes are), an embryo starts growing, feeding off the juice and nutrition of the thick white flesh. This embryo develops into a creamy mass that gradually fills much of the empty space inside. It is good to eat -- sweet, somewhat spongy and less fibrous than the matured meat.
In India the Coconut is used in all types of religious ceremonies from birth, throughout life & even in death: if a family member or close relative has lived with you & leaves to go away; then a coconut is given to them for luck, when a Mother or Father passes away then one of the children will plant a Coconut in the ground, it's used in pre-birth (baby shower) ceremony & in the engagement and wedding ceremonies.
We've read that when a volcano erupts in the ocean & an island is formed from the resulting lava.........one of the first things that will grow on the new land will be a coconut tree - there are stories of people who have had the misfortune to be stranded on a desert island who have managed to survive their ordeal by drinking & eating Coconut.
When you see the height of a Coconut tree - that's how deep the roots go into the ground.
Enjoy your Coconut - natures true gift.............it's come from very, very far !!!
God Bless !!!

I saw maybe 6 videos before this. And this is by far the best way. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for your kind comment.
Pleased it worked for you, it took many years of practice to get this technique correct
God Bless!
You make it look so easy. And your calm voice added to the experience. My coconut didn't open perfectly like yours but I got it opened...and got the water. That's a win for me. Thank you!
This is the, absolute, best way I have ever seen in my life! Thank you! Now, I'm a woman from the U.S. not quite adapted to the art of opening coconuts, period! My family is from N. Carolina and later moved to Northern States. We didn't use fresh only the pre-package shredded coconut. I'm into fresh everything now and this really enlightens and guides me on how to safely and swiftly open coconuts without too much mess!
I was skeptical.....BUT You are a Coconut Master!
Thank you so much 👍🏼
Thanks for the demo, as we bought a coconut and used your demo and we enjoyed it. Great stuff..
Thank you for the video so helpful.
Watching this at 4 Am. It’s 2020 corona time
Watching this at 3.30pm. It’s 2021, still corona time.
Watching this at 12:30 and it is still Corona time, and there is a Delta variant
Watching this at 2:30 pm and its definitely still corona time
It’s 2023 and 4am
Lol got me a coconut and did not have an idea on how to open it. Thanks this really helped me. 👍🏼😊
Loved this video. I love coconut so much. I learnt something today, how to open a coconut. Excellent. Thankyou
Thank you for watching.
Pleased to know that you enjoyed the video and found it helpful.
There is a safer way to remove the water. Just use a corkscrew (wine bottle opener) in the soft "eye" (one of the three, only one is soft), and either use a straw to test the water for freshness or turn the coconut upside down into a glass to drain the water.
tysm j was trying to find a way to drink the water inside but I wanted a tiny hole not all of it smashed open!
I've tried the Coconut Jack with no results but losing all the water. I returned it. I thought there has got to be a better way and I watched a few videos but the coconuts were already husked. Then I ran across this and he makes it look so easy! Can't wait to try this. Thanks so much for showing us how to remove the husk and easily remove the meat.
Susan Lawrence coco jack works wonderfully for young Thai coconuts
These people really love coconuts. I'll be sure to use your techniques if I'm ever stranded on a deserted tropical island.
Its so perfectly done
Thanks for the video
Welcome.
Thank you very much for your kind comment.
No drop was lost. AWESOME. If u know the film cast away u know why I really really like this. Thank you very much.
it works! it took about 15 min for me. Will forever use this method! thank you.
Best way of opening a coconut and cutting it's flesh out I've ever seen so far. Thanks for sharing! Great video, thumps up.
OMG! I have to buy a coconut NOW!
Absolutely brilliant.
I used to drain the water with a cork screw or a screwdriver penetrating the soft eye but it was a mess, the water was dirty and I lost a lot of time to filter it. This method is fantastic, fast (I can crack the upper shell in less than a minute), easy and clean. Thank you for sharing.
The worst part about this is that I only have one coconut and I can't do it all again until I buy another one! Loved it
Nice method. This one looks easy for a first try. Gonna try it asap. Thank you so much for sharing!
LOL Worked like a charm! I didn't even need the knife when I peeled the coconut and drank its life essence right out the coconut
Thank you for watching bro & using the technique, really pleased to read that it worked for you 👍🏼
Wow! Thank you for sharing! My old method took me at least an hour. After watching your video, I had my coconut ready in less than 5 minutes. So grateful :)
Thank you for this brilliant video. This is a lot easier than breaking into a mature coconut with a wine opener, hammer, and chisel-headed screwdriver like I did last night.
Watched this and made a perfect opening......Good info. Also mine turned out to be a bit sour...so also good info. Hard to find fresh Coconut in Tn. :D
Followed your instructions. Worked beautifully. Thanks!

You truly are Master Coconut Man - I had to hit it a lot more often than you did
I tried it and it worked perfectly the first time around. I used the back of a meat cleaver.
Brilliant! Thank you.
Thank you for this lesson! Now I am not so scared of buying a coconut from the local fresh produce market!

Thanks great video
I’d like to see how to get the husk off easy because it took me a qhyto get it off
Now I may even dare to buy a coconut again lol Last time I bought a whole coconut was probably in 2006 and I just couldn't get it open no matter how much I beat it up :P I didn't know how to open one then though
do you just use spoon to take off after?
I have never found any water in those older brown nuts sold in my home country. Coconut water is mainly in young green coconuts with a thin soft layer of coconut flesh inside. These are the good ones, forget the older ones!
What is your home country?
@@mr07623445678 Norway.
Freshness of the coconut plays a big factor in if there's water or not.
Maybe you will have to travel to a country where they are grown & in abundance to enjoy them with water.
You're quite right about the Young Green Coconuts being the best, we regularly drink young green coconut water here
@@mr07623445678 I am in Thailand for the winter and have a coconut every day! I enjoy them while I can before returning to "No coconut country" in April! Lol!😄😄
🤣🤣🤣
Excellent...
brilliant, many thanks...now having coconut without wrestling match! :D
NICE VIEDO VERY HELPFUL :)thans
Thank you for your comment.
God Bless.
I've done this for many years... oops! heh, Great vid, thanks. I saw some sparrows carrying one of those but it was just the shell
MMMM
very helpful thx tasted different to sugar lol
Just suggestion, upon putting the cup of the juice you got out from the coconut, it'll be better if you either cap it or seal it with a plastic film wrap, otherwise after sometime, the flavoring from the others in the refrigerator may enter the cup of the coconut juice.
