Slaying a coconut

[richard]

Just FYI since I don't think anyone mentioned it...they make a special coconut meat removal tool (for mature coconuts) that is inexpensive and very handy. A friend who is really big into coconuts as a staple of her diet and buys them by the case demonstrated her complete opening process to us, including this part.

Never used the meat removal tool (i use a spoon instead), but this punch tap tool works for those coconuts in green (not the brown ones): http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008HA4F60/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20
