How to Open a Young Coconut.... A healthy natural drink!

I have used coconut water as a drink or use it in my smoothies and recipes. It's naturally sweet and healthy!

* Yogis love to use it when fasting
* It's low in calories (around 42 calories for one coconut)
* Contains Potassium
* Contains Magnesium
* Contains Copper
* Contains Cytokinins (Science has confirmed it to slow down cancerous cells).
* Contains Antioxidants
* Natural Diuretic

* It was used in WWII to hydrate soldiers!


          I have tried everything to try to get a coconut open. 
          Endless attempts I found this one to work the best!

Solid Meat Cleaver works well. You can find them at Kmart $6

I find it was easier in the beginning to mark the coconut where you want to put your hole. 

Use the bottom point to go into the middle of the line your on. Be sure use both hands on the knife. 

Never put your hand on the coconut. You need a lot of force to break through the outside of the coconut.

Open the coconut with the blade.

Pour into a glass and enjoy!

After you pour the water out scrape the insides out with a spoon and eat the flesh or use it in different recipes!
