How to Open a Coconut

Chef Jason Hill learns how to open a coconut at the Haleiwa Farmers Market in Hawaii. To open coconut, you'll need a machete if you want to enjoy pure coconut water from a young green coconut. If you want to know how to open a coconut at home, drill out the two eyes with a corkscrew, screwdriver or hammer and drain the fresh coconut water into a cup. Next, holding the coconut with the eyes on one end and stem on the other, whack it a few times with a cleaver or machete. It should break in half.

Thanks to Taste Deez Nuts in Haleiwa for providing the demonstration on opening a coconut.
