There are two kinds of coconuts that are common in the market, one is coconut green, and the other is coconut emperor (commonly known as old coconut). Generally speaking, the skin of coconut green is soft and easy to cut off, with more coconut juice and less coconut meat. Coconut emperor is a mature coconut green. After peeling, depilation and polishing, the coconut emperor has less coconut juice and thicker and more fragrant coconut meat. Here are two methods of coconut shell opening ~
1, coconut green shell opening method Prepare a green coconut and a kitchen knife.
Cut off the white fiber at the tip of the coconut with a knife to expose the inner shell (if the coconut is a blue shell, it needs to be cut into the shape of the previous step). At this time, you can see three protrusions on the shell, which are roughly T-shaped. Be careful not to cut your hand.
Tap along the edge of the exposed coconut shell. You have to hit the whole circumference. Be careful not to use too much force to avoid coconut juice flowing out. Don't use too much force. Knock with even force.
After knocking 1-2 times, you can see cracks around the coconut shell.
Insert the tip of the knife into the crack and you can pry open the coconut shell.
The coconut is successfully opened ~ at this time, you can pour out the coconut juice and dig the coconut meat with a spoon.
2. Coconut King Shell Opening Method
Prepare a coconut emperor and a kitchen knife.
Turn over the coconut and you can clearly see that there are three bones. This is the key point later.
Then hit each bone with the back of the knife a few times.
After knocking three bones, knock again along the bottom. What should you pay attention to? Knock a circle along it.
Open the lid again, and the coconut opens successfully ~
Then pour out the coconut water and bake the coconut on the stove for a while ~ Use the principle of thermal expansion and cold contraction to separate the coconut meat from the coconut shell, and then pry the coconut meat down with a spoon ~
