Step 2: Crack the shell

There's a natural fracture point on the coconut's shell which will become apparent as you follow these steps:
  • Place the coconut on a flat surface, and locate a point about a third of the way from the smaller end.
  • Take the knife and give that spot on the coconut a light whack with the back of the knife blade.
  • Rotate slightly and hit the coconut again the same distance from the end Repeat this several times as you rotate it on the surface.
Once you see the fracture develop, insert the tip of the knife into it and pry upwards. The coconut should separate in such a way that you can easily get at the white "meat."
