Coconut is often called "coconut", however, it is more likely a stone, like apricot, or cherry. Breaking a coconut shell is not easy, although when traveling through the southern countries, or just watching TV shows, you often saw how aborigines open coconut with one clever machete strike. Do not repeat this trick, if you do not have sufficient skills to perform this trick. Acting in this way, an unprepared person can easily lose his hand.

Coconut is smashed to get to the delicate pulp inside. It is delicious if the coconut is fresh. If a lot of time has passed from the moment of picking the fruit to the moment when the coconut is in your hands, then it makes no sense to open it - the flesh will be hard and tasteless. it means that the coconut lay somewhere for a very long time.

So, having examined the coconut, you will see three dark spots on one of its sides. These are the weak points in the coconut shell. After making holes in them with a knife or a screwdriver, you can pour coconut milk inside. Then you should proceed to the main part - break the coconut. In addition to the three pores already familiar to you, the coconut shell has another weak point. It is located about one third of the length of the coconut from the side through which milk can be poured. This weak spot should be the target. A hammer or an ax may well serve as an opening tool. Lay the coconut on a hard surface, and with moderate effort, apply a chopping blow to the shell at the indicated location.
Useful advice
If the coconut did not give in on the first blow, scroll it lightly and strike on the other side. If this time, too, the inside did not appear, turn the coconut again and repeat the blow. You should succeed!
