How to open a coconut
Poke a hole in the top of the coconut.
At the top of the coconut, there are three eyes or indentations. One of these is usually the weakest, so use a sharp knife to poke each one.
When you find the eye that gives most easily, insert the knife into it to create a -inch (1.27-cm) hole. You can also use a metal skewer or screwdriver to poke a hole in the top of the coconut.
