Opening Coconuts





It is wonderful to start each day drinking coconut water! If I'm lucky, there is also either some coconut jelly or chewy coconut meat to eat after I finish the water.

Last night my friend was over to have me open some coconuts for her. She wanted to take pictures of me doing this, so I'm going to post them here.

wow you make it look pretty easy...do you chop it pretty far up towards the tip? I always have trouble opening them. Last time I had one my dad actually went outside and used an ax to open it!

The man that sells me the coconuts shaves off some around the top. Then it isn't too hard to cut into. Sometimes I remember to go closer to the top, where the whole ends up being smaller. Most of the time I go down about 3 inches so I can scoop out the soft or jelly coconut meat to eat after I drink the water.
