Coconut 101

This is my how-to for opening a coconut. I have found a few techniques online, but the simplest way seems to only take a few strong wackes. Here are my instructions to opening a coconut.

1. Holding the coconut in the palm of one hand and a large knife in the other, hit the coconut at the center with the back of the knife.
 2. As you hit the coconut, rotate as each side of the coconut is hit, making a full circle.
 3. Hold the coconut over a bowl as the water will start pouring out.

Use the coconut water and coconut meat for smoothies or other recipes!!!
