If you’ve ever wondered how to open a coconut, you’re not alone.

My first time opening a coconut was very frustrating. I thought I needed a drill to drain the coconut water and a hammer to crack it open. It was loud, scary, and dangerous!

If you think you need a power drill, saw, hammer, chisel, or screwdriver to open a coconut, you may shy away from purchasing a whole coconut. Fresh mature coconuts do look a bit intimidating, but they are actually easy to open. All you need is a kitchen knife!

Learn the easiest way to open a coconut at home.

My family and I just opened a coconut using this method and all the children cheered. Great video!

In my island, we have a Legend about the coconut. So in the legend, a coconut is the head of an eel that fell in love with a princess. Before it died, it told the princes to cut off its head and bury it near her Palace.. if she does it, a tree will grow and it will be used as means for survival. Anyway, the fruit o f the tree will be for food and drink. So the coconut is liken to the eel's head that was cut out and buried. The three dots are the two eyes and the mouth. It is the mouth that we can open and drink the juice.

My daddy had taught me how to crack a coconut open in the middle just the way you've done it!!! The other method was what I was searching for!! Thank you very much for showing us this easy method!!

Hi Petra, so happy to see you back on this platform again. I have really missed your videos. So I am from Southern India and coconuts play an extremely important role in our diet and spiritual life as well. Back home, we would just bash the coconut on a stone or even the edges of a step in the back yard to get it open. Now here in the US, it had become really tough to find a way to open them especially around festival days when we have to use fresh coconut. The method you showed is exactly how skilled coconut sellers and farmers used to open them. Will have it to give this method a try with the soaking step. Now if you have some tips to open up the whole coconut with the green husk and all that would be something 😉

Thank you so much! I seldom buy coconuts simply because I never knew a way to get them open without throwing them down on the patio! Lol!

[Laurynas]

Did not know it was THAT easy to open a coconut until watching your video. Thanks so much!

[TriuneDeityMinistries]

This video is PERFECT! I recently bought a coconut and this morning my daughter asked if we could open it. I looked up a tutorial and immediately found this video. I did what you said and it worked perfectly. Only thing is we now know my little girl does not like coconuts, lol. Thanks for the tutorial.

OMG this is probably one of the best instruction videos out there. We didn’t know how to open the coconuts we bought from the market so I searched for a guide and followed, it worked exactly like you said, it was so cool

[firstmedtech]

This was a big treat when we were kids and Dad brought home a coconut! Still live fresh coconut and the milk!

Thanks for this vid, I was making an absolute mess in my kitchen trying to do it my way. Finally gave in and found your vid, easy peesy❤👍👏👌

If coconut is very matured and dry well with this method you can peel the shell without breaking the coconut white but if the coconut is not very matured it’s difficult to peel that way. I am telling you this because I did coconut business for years.

This was totally awesome!!!! I can remember my mom using a hammer to open them when I was young! I can’t wait to try this!

[Unfiltered]

Thanks for sharing this video. I tried using a good quality cleaver in the same fashion you used the knife and it cracked it open with a couple of hits . It’s much faster that way and it does not brake the coconut. Very clean cut.

WOW! Thank you, sure wish I knew about freezing it so that could have placed it in the freezer last night for my Coconut Curry today! THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION!

[sohailashealthyPhysique]

Thank You 😊
Opening COCONUT 🥥 in my country was very easy. However, it seems to have gotten a bit more venturous. So I am delighted in the info given. Yes the both ways, again thanks 😊

[tammysvegankitchen]

Wow I never knew it could be so easy!! Thank you ✨

To speed up the draining of the water by 5x, I stick a stwaw through the hole (all the wat to the back wall) and all the liquid drains in one 5th of the time. This is useful if your main objective is to collect coconut water to co sume cold or as a mixer for alcoholic drinks.

Mature (old) coconuts are (best for cream/milk/yogurt ect..) very high in fat. Young ones will have (soft jelly meat) younger they are they lower fat/softer jelly and more water. However they all vary, most we get here in Australia are 300 - 500ml, but in Indonesia, Thailand, Bali some are 1000 - 1500ml of water per young coconut. Nice video

[MindDrip]

For the frozen coconut - do you extract the coconut water first like you did with the non-frozen one?

This information is great. Also, thanks for the other comments in other ways to "get at" the coconut meat.
