Even the most unremarkable store tries to surprise customers with exotic fruits, berries and nuts. And as soon as this product appears on the shelves at an affordable price, it becomes difficult to pass nicely this tempting offer. This is what I was guided by when I saw a special offer for coconuts in a supermarket.
For some reason, at that moment I was not interested in how I would clean them. But, how I will eat this coconut, and what I will cook from it - here the fantasy has already played out perfectly.
In the end, I brought home three small coconuts. Each of them definitely had a sufficient amount of juice, which was perfectly audible during the intense shaking of the nut.
Remember, this is one of the important criteria for testing a coconut for maturity.
Therefore, before buying it, be sure to shake the nut. And if you hear the movement of juice inside, it means that the coconut is ripe and you can safely take it.
Now the most crucial moment begins - coke cleaning. And I assure you that this can be done in just a few seconds. To make it easier to understand the whole process, I have compiled a step-by-step instruction:
- How to extract coconut juice. If you crack a nut right away, it is unlikely that you will be able to collect all the internal fluid. In this case, nature took care of us, and made three black dots at the base of the coconut, which visually resemble eyes and mouth. The largest of these dents is pliable enough and through it you can easily get to the coconut juice. For this I use a regular sharp knife. But a drill, nail or screw will also work. Just make a deep hole. If done correctly, then substitute the glass and pour out all the internal liquid. It is not necessary to make additional holes. The juice will pour out beautifully from the coconut.
- Splitting the shell. The most crucial process is to crack the nut so as to minimize damage to the inner pulp. Any heavy object you have at home will do this. For example, you can use a construction hammer, a heavy knife, or a hatchet. In my case, it turned out to be a kitchen hammer. Remember safety precautions! To avoid injuring your hand or fingers, hold the coconut in your left hand and the hammer in your left. Begin tapping the center of the nut shell with the hammer, turning it constantly in your hand. At first, the coconut's durable shell will resist, but after a few intense blows, a crack will appear. All that remains is to pick up the coconut and open it.
- We take out the white pulp. Well, now it only remains to get the pulp out of the coconut with a spoon or a sharp knife. You can use it to make smoothies, bake pastries, or just eat.
In such a simple way, you can get inside the impregnable coconut.
I'm sure you can do it again without even having kitchen tools at hand.
