If you’ve ever wondered how to open a coconut, you’re not alone.
My first time opening a coconut was very frustrating. I thought I needed a drill to drain the coconut water and a hammer to crack it open. It was loud, scary, and dangerous!
If you think you need a power drill, saw, hammer, chisel, or screwdriver to open a coconut, you may shy away from purchasing a whole coconut. Fresh mature coconuts do look a bit intimidating, but they are actually easy to open. All you need is a kitchen knife!
Learn the easiest way to open a coconut at home.

My family and I just opened a coconut using this method and all the children cheered. Great video!
Aw, that's wonderful!❤️
My daddy had taught me how to crack a coconut open in the middle just the way you've done it!!! The other method was what I was searching for!! Thank you very much for showing us this easy method!!
Did not know it was THAT easy to open a coconut until watching your video. Thanks so much!
Yes, it really is! And you're very welcome :)
Other videots from havaian show is about smash it in the middle of eyes. one hit is enough

To speed up the draining of the water by 5x, I stick a stwaw through the hole (all the wat to the back wall) and all the liquid drains in one 5th of the time. This is useful if your main objective is to collect coconut water to co sume cold or as a mixer for alcoholic drinks.
If coconut is very matured and dry well with this method you can peel the shell without breaking the coconut white but if the coconut is not very matured it’s difficult to peel that way. I am telling you this because I did coconut business for years.
Thank you for sharing with us!
True..its easier with a hammer or slamming it on concrete...and now the grocery is making it easier by packaging it lol
Thank you so much! I seldom buy coconuts simply because I never knew a way to get them open without throwing them down on the patio! Lol!
Haha, you made me laugh :-D I have actually seen someone throw coconuts on a concrete driveway, and they did crack open ;)
SAME
Ouch!
You & me both! 😂 this video really helped allot! Thank you! 😊
Hammer 🔨 and a nail to drip the water 💧
This was a big treat when we were kids and Dad brought home a coconut! Still live fresh coconut and the milk!
Formidable 😮!
Thank you 🙏 for the informative video. ❤❤😊
Hi Petra, so happy to see you back on this platform again. I have really missed your videos. So I am from Southern India and coconuts play an extremely important role in our diet and spiritual life as well. Back home, we would just bash the coconut on a stone or even the edges of a step in the back yard to get it open. Now here in the US, it had become really tough to find a way to open them especially around festival days when we have to use fresh coconut. The method you showed is exactly how skilled coconut sellers and farmers used to open them. Will have it to give this method a try with the soaking step. Now if you have some tips to open up the whole coconut with the green husk and all that would be something 😉
Thank you so much! I do remember you from the comments!! I have gotten quite a few requests to show how to open a young coconut, which I am going to do. However, I have never seen a coconut with the green husk still on in the stores (at least here in Canada). It's typically already removed, so it's just the white husk.
@@NutritionRefined aah that’s so sweet. I honestly have not seen the coconuts with the full husk on here in any store as well except in Hawaii. If I ever do get my hands on it, I wanted to learn to open one to get to the tender coconut meat inside. I miss eating that.
Hello from India 🇮🇳
lol make 2 holes dude! that's the most basic thing with coconuts!
Mature (old) coconuts are (best for cream/milk/yogurt ect..) very high in fat. Young ones will have (soft jelly meat) younger they are they lower fat/softer jelly and more water. However they all vary, most we get here in Australia are 300 - 500ml, but in Indonesia, Thailand, Bali some are 1000 - 1500ml of water per young coconut. Nice video
Wow I never knew it could be so easy!! Thank you ✨
You are very welcome, Tammy :)
Yeah I tried to open it with an ax and it didn't work
Ditto!
Thank you for this tip. You've made breaking open a coconut so easy!
WOW! Thank you, sure wish I knew about freezing it so that could have placed it in the freezer last night for my Coconut Curry today! THANK YOU, VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION!
This was totally awesome!!!! I can remember my mom using a hammer to open them when I was young! I can’t wait to try this!
Thank You 😊
Opening COCONUT 🥥 in my country was very easy. However, it seems to have gotten a bit more venturous. So I am delighted in the info given. Yes the both ways, again thanks 😊
Thank you so much!
Great video! Super easy with common household items.
Pretty useful demo...
Thanks a lot for sharing this.
I'll have to try this out, you've made it look so easy!
That's totally cool. I might venture out and buy one to try your technique.
There is another easy way too. Just peal it well and heat it a bit on the gas stove from all sides (30-60 secs) and then hit on the main shell lines. It will break easily in just 4-5 hits
Watching from Monrovia, Liberia! Learned something new today. Thank you so much.
This information is great. Also, thanks for the other comments in other ways to "get at" the coconut meat.
Thanks for this vid, I was making an absolute mess in my kitchen trying to do it my way. Finally gave in and found your vid, easy peesy❤👍👏👌
Trying this today with my kids who will love to try a fresh coconut!
Thanks for this info. Very useful.
Happy you are back, love the amazing videos :D
Thank you so much, Maurice!❤️
Thank you for the demonstration.
Thank you for watching, Lynn!❤️
After taking out coconut water...just heat the coconut along with hard surface and then gently hammer at equator whole white will come out....
Brilliant ! Thank you very much. Gotta freeze my next one 😀 .
Thanks for this awesome advice!
Thank you so much for the feedback :)
Brilliant! Thank you!
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed the video :)
I love this!
Thanks for this!! I will be trying this.
Thank you for the comment, Veronica! I am glad the video was helpful :)
Thank you it worked nicely
Brilliant, thank you.
It worked! Was finally able to open this coconut. It did take a few tries. Definitely helps to wet your coconut. Then crack it along its equator. I only had a lightweight cleaver (but wished I had a heftier one). Nevertheless, still worked. Good luck all! Worth it for a delicious treat.
Useful tip!
Wow! Looks so easy
It really is easy ;)
Wow!! Freezing the coconut! Want to try that! Thank you!!
Thank you for watching :)

Thank you for this increadable tip.
Regards from South Africa
Be very careful doing that with a knife; they're not made to endure such impact. Lots of knife accidents also occur through the handle slipping out of the hand, so be very aware of this before attempting this method.
Amazing 🤩 thank you soooo much 💕🥥🥥🥥💕🙏🏽✨☮️
Thank you so much for watching :)
Fantastic idea! Thank you.
Thank you, Colin! I am so glad to see you in the comments :)
@@NutritionRefined Wow. Thank you. I watch almost all of your videos, but don't always comment. Really good important useful stuff. I like to check in, and see you are OK, and hear your lovely voice. I know a lot but I always learn something new. God bless.
@@colinkelley6493 Thank you, Colin! That means a lot. I am always happy to hear from you :)
Amazing!
Wow!! Thank you!!!
In my island, we have a Legend about the coconut. So in the legend, a coconut is the head of an eel that fell in love with a princess. Before it died, it told the princes to cut off its head and bury it near her Palace.. if she does it , a tree will grow and it will be used as means for survival. Anyway, the fruit o f the tree will be for food and drink. So the coconut is liken to the eel's head that was cut out and buried. The three dots are the two eyes and the mouth. It is the mouth that we can open and drink the juice.
God bless u for this useful tip❤
Wow! Thanks!❤
Thanks Petra, this is brilliant. I managed so far... somehow, but only in pieces
Thank you Klara!
Love This!!!!! 🤩 Thank you!
You're very welcome :)
Очень круто!Век живи-век учись.Спасибо

Amazing and thanks for the tip how to get the water
Thank you!
It works! 😊
Cooool! Thank you very much for showing us this!!!😄🌼🌻🐈👋
You are very welcome, Yakisha!❤️
@@NutritionRefined thanks😌....
Nice tutorial
I already drained it and I was preparing to start hitting it with a hammer, caveman style, and thought "there has to be a better way.." Tried the knife method and it split open with just a few hard taps! Thank you!!
For the technique of freezing the coconut first, do you need to drain the water before placing it in the freezer? TIA
Thank you brilliant 😊
All I can say is Wow 😳 I wish I had known that great info much love on that one ☝🏾
Thank you Melissa! I am glad the video was helpful :)
Nice tips of opening the whole coconut 🥥👌👍
Thank you!!
I love the freezing tip. Looks so easy.
But does it retain the taste and flavor?
@@HumanBeingSpawn I'm curious about the texture as most foods texture change once frozen. It may not matter if you make cream since it juiced.
For the frozen coconut - do you extract the coconut water first like you did with the non-frozen one?
One of the most important question here and no one can answer it. Looking for the answer as well. :)
you remove the water before freezing
She probably does drain it since both coconut meat steps come after the drainage step and she doesnt mention anything differently. Also if you have frozen coconut water inside the coconut meat it could complicate using the meat afterwards since you wouldnt know where the water is frozen or how much of it there is. It would also make the entire coconut heavier to handle since it would be the weight of the frozen meat plus frozen coconut water.
Im not Petra but I do believe that she probably drained the frozen example as well!
Cheers.
Drain it first
Seems she did drip it out first, as no evidence of frozen water or any post drip.
However could you try it both ways and let me know?
Wow, Wow, Wow thank you for sharing, I haven't bought coconut for years due to the lack of knowledge as to how to crack this nut!♥
Awesome! I am glad the video was helpful then ;)
Hammer 🔨 and nail to drip the water 💧
awesome. recently i saw a different video where someone told to heat the already split coconut halfs for 15 minutes in an oven, in order to separate the shell from the meat. but i'd prefer to use the freezing method, because i think it might keep the meat more native than heating it up.
But one question: After freezing, can i immediately start to crack it with the knife, or should the coconut be defrosted before?
Wow that's much quicker thanks for sharing.
You're very welcome, Olga :)
awesome thanks, this channel should be called nutrition engineer , you are awesome
Aw, thank you so much!!
Magic!
Amazing ❤❤
Thank you!
Thank you. I didn't know that the whole thing comes out cleanly if you freeze a coconut. I'm used to banging on it with a heavy cleaver a few times until it cuts in half.
WoW! Thanks! 😊
You are very welcome ;)
Wonderful
Terrific info
Thank you Margaret!
W-O-W! Thank you.
Waving a bowie knife around like that is looking for trouble . Place drained coconut in burlap bag, wack it with a hammer. TA DA 😊
Thank you so much, very useful, ❤️🌹love from India.
Very cool. And I have to say, your voice is lovely.
I've always been curious on how to open a coconut and how to remove that brown hairy layer 😅 also, i didn't know they had that much water in then. Thanks for the video!
This is so cool! Before freezing it, would it help much to score it along the equater, the way people do with glass before cleanly breaking it? Would it maybe take fewer hits that way?
Drain coconut water first then freeze. Objective is to separate shell from the white meat's brown membrane soft shell to peel like a potato.
Thanku so much💐
Thank you so much for watching :)
Thanks a lot Dear ❤
V easy method .
God bless you .
Thank you!!
Damn! That's cool! Thank you. 😁
You're welcome :)
Wow, you make it look so easy. I will have to practice a lot to get as good as you. Thank you for these coconut opening tips.. 🥰😊🥰
Haha, thank you, Jo! It really is easy ;)
You can open a coconut easily in just a few seconds if you skip laying the coconut in water. Instead just draw a waterline with water on your finger over the coconut’s equator before you hit the equator with a hammer or the dull side of a heavy knife. 🥥🥥🔨🧉🌴 Good luck!

Great Video! - Thanks! - What is the minimum amount of time you suggest keeping the coconut in the fridge for?
Hooray! I’ve missed your content.
Aw, thank you!❤️
Thanks🙏
Thank you for watching!
Wow, that was actually really easy. I kind of assumed that you were just mega strong but no, it worked exactly as you said it would. o.o
Yay! Glad to hear :)
Cool!! 👍
That’s a Strong Gal 😮
Hi, do you drain the coconut before freezing it whole? Or leave the coconut water inside? Thanks
Love this video. Now I can eat more coconut! Thank you!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video.
If you don't have a skewer to pierce the eye to drain it, a wine corkscrew also works 👍
oh freezing it, that was clever.
Freezing it first is the best tip!
That's a very nice cutting board
Thanks!
What an in-depth guide! HAHA #cool
Thank you, Mike!
Very helpful video! How long did you freeze the coconut before cracking it open?
thanks
Wow! What a techneeque bhai ! I didn’t know yo have to hit coconut from left hand with knife to crack open! 😂
