How to split a coconut step by step instructions with a photo

Step 1

 

For work, we need a coconut, a hammer, a glass, a nail.

Step 2

 

On one side of the coconut are three "eyes". Try to lightly press with a nail on each of the "eyes". Two will be closed tightly, and one "eye" will easily pierce. The nail must be twisted well to form a hole in the pulp of the coconut. Instead of a nail, you can use a screwdriver or scissors.

Step 3

 

Drain the coconut juice into a glass. The juice will have a slightly salty-sweet taste. It will be a little and you can immediately drink it.

Step 4

 

Take the coconut in your left hand, and the hammer in your right, and start tapping the shell in a circular direction. You need to tap from the side of the "eyes", measuring approximately 1/3 from the top of the coconut. Tapping should be of medium strength. After some time of tapping (2-3 minutes) a crack will appear.

Step 5

 

Divide the coconut at the split point into two halves.
