Thank you. When I was a child my Dad loved coconut. Mom would poke the eye out and drain the water into a glass and then crack the nut with a large knife and then peel it, shred it and toast it. Then she would make his favorite coconut cake with it! I thought there had to be an easier way! Your boys are adorable.
Your boys are amazing😃 I love how your younger boy was very specific and also how your older son is so entertained by his brother and kudos to you for being a great father🙏I am about to open my coconut 🥥 in a few moments.....thanks so much
loved it! very informative. did not realize there were two different types of coconuts!! boys are adorable. love to see a family doing things together. thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge.
Not really two different 'types' per se. One is when the coconut is still young. The other ..the brown one is when the coconut is matured and older ..same coconut just at different age stages.
Easy and honest! Husband bought the old kind from the store for my 9 year old and the video was simple and on point! FYI we didn't have a cleaver so my hubby used a oyster knife, worked great! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video. Finally got my coconut open! Very informative. Took a few tries but it worked. One trick I saw elsewhere (that really helped me) was to wet your coconut b4 striking it on its equator. Love your kids and their commentaries! You guys are awesome!
this is the best instructional video for opening a coconut. so simple and no need to punch the eyes/mouth of the coconut first. I am going to do this tomorrow. Love the boys, no idea what they said or which they liked the best but they are adorable.
best instruction video ever! just wished I had watched this earlier because I always loved coconuts but never had any good experience opening one without making my house sounded like a war zone!
Good demo. Except you should not be advocating getting you coconut wrapped in plastic. Plastic does not make things "clean". It is bad for the environment and bad for you. Plus it is is a bloody hard shell that you don't eat (natural packaging).
hey great vid. have you considered trying the coconut knife? i bought two on amazon and it is a really useful tool for removing the coconut meat after you halve the coconut. A must buy.
Thank you. This vid was just what me and MY two little boys were wanting to help us with our coconut! Your little guys had fun, so cute. Thank you again!
I used the same tool as you after trying hard with a hammer that didn't work. Thanks for the help! I also like the way you explain a little about coconuts. And your younger son is funny! Haha
I watched a documentary called Fa'a Samoa and the man showed you how to open a coconut in one swing of his knife. Besides that it was educational and funny to watch. Hope this makes your coconut opening technique quicker and enjoyable as well. Thanks for sharing.
Is not that difficult to get the meat out. If you have hammer of any kind will more then suffice to do the job. Just give it a nice whack at it as if it was the last bottle of water on the planet and split the earth in half.
And if you keep going, you'll also learn how to measure a man for a suit alteration, evaluate a video game's basic design and play-style elements from a developer's perspective, cook foreign dishes you don't have the ingredients for, break in toe shoes for a ballet hobby you don't have, and other compellingly need-to-know-now sleep-repelling things just like I did! *blinks bloodshot eyes*
Hey, 1 nice tip. Put both halves of coconut into freezer for about 10 - 15 min. Then you can loosen the meat around the edges and soon can pop it out in 1 whole piece.
Hey man-staying in Thailand for a few months and after working out at the gym I drive home on my motorbike and stop by this guy selling green coconuts on the side of the road. Grab 2 of them every day-fresh from the tree same day and man o man so refreshing but always had a hard time opening up for the meat part so thanks for the info. Oh by the way the cost works out to about 30 cents each---never asked for a tax receipt-lol
Thanks for this great video. Just one thing, about the young coconut, since the plastic they've been repped in has been sprayed with a bunch of Fungicides and Chemicals we don't really want to touch it so it's best to only take the top part off where you wanna cut into and not the whole thing , that way we minimise contact with all of those chemicals. All The best.
heh! nice video! I bought a young Thai coconut for $2 at farmer's market 2 weeks ago...finally opened it up to make my own coconut yogurt...came out pretty good! But hacking that 'nut up to get the meat out was NOT fun! maybe the more I do it, the easier it will be!
Thank you for showing this video. I saw a video with a green coconut and the only kind I have seen in my life have been the brown hairy ones. I asked in the comments what kind of coconut was the green one. Some unhelpful idiot replied 'are you dumb' Now I know the green one is a younger version. Cheers.
I am most gracious for your upload and explaing that for me finally About the coconuts I had to wait for that answer a long time I plum almost forgot now I'm an old fart yea!!!bless your heart chid I love you
Informative, but I was so nervous just waiting for a finger to go flying off or stabbing of your hand! It made for gripping cinema! *LOL* Thanks for the comparison.
Thanks for some good tips. I would suggest not holding the coconut with one's hands however while hacking at it with a cleaver. Saw someone on one of the survivor TV shows hack into their hand that way. Could easily loose a finger.
me too. Simon, PowerModz has is one solution to resolve the problem maybe not the best but is one solution. actually it may be the more used tecnique to open the coconuts and i use too. Good vid Power keep going good for your kids good for all
I can't crack open a coconut without the help of a concrete sidewalk for the life of me.. Practice makes perfect I guess :) You've got adorable children!
I'm here cause at about 400 AM I woke up saying I MUST have a coconut...NOW...you know it's bad when you are debating whether to get dressed...go to the store to get a coconut...and then realize it might NOT be a good idea to follow thru with banging a fresh coconut cause you have neighbors. LOL! Then I waited...for hours so I wouldn't disturb neighbors...went to Walmart (closest store)...they have NO coconuts...and by then it has become a mission. AT least no one can complain (yet) about my banging in the middle of the day. Got to love Safeway....they had a lot of coconuts...and now that I had a few pieces I am saying...was it worth it all?
A couple of tips: Drain the juice first - ONE of the three eyes is soft, probe with an ice pick then open it up with a small sharp knife. Then hold the nut with a towel while whacking with the cleaver. this prevents a fracture from opening and closing on the skin of your hand.
I just smash them open with a sludge hammer. It's very quick that way. Little pieces go flying and all the juice is lost but I don't eat coconut anyways
Great video! I've linked to it in a blog post I wrote about how to make your own coconut milk from mature coconuts. Hopefully it helps you get some more views. Thanks for posting!
@FrankaDith i hear that they give you the runs if you eat too much, but i have never had issues. I'm told the Japanese infantry lived off them and mangos during the war.
Young coconut water is good for little toddlers during fever. Try picking up a heavy cleaver in Chinatown 😁🤙 hit the ridges (lines) of the brown coconut. Save the shells for briquettes. The fibrous outer casing is used for lining pots

Those boys are too silly. Lol. It's always good to have little helpers. Thanks for the video. It really is helpful.

I enjoyed your video! Your sons are adorable and had me laughing with their antics and cuteness. Thanks for video!👍🏾👍🏾
Hey thanks for watching - if you liked that make sure you check out our juicer video!
I like the video too♡♡♡
your sons were so cute ♡♡♡
love the coconuts
Chris Meyers
Opened my first "old" coconut tonight. Back of the cleaver worked great. Thanks for the instructions!
I really appreciate that you incorporated both of these it gives me an idea of which one to buy for what meals I plan to make.
Hey thanks for watching!
this is the best instructional video for opening a coconut. so simple and no need to punch the eyes/mouth of the coconut first. I am going to do this tomorrow. Love the boys, no idea what they said or which they liked the best but they are adorable.
Cute kids! Thanks for giving instructions for both types...that don't involve digging through a tool chest or heating up the coconut!
best instruction video ever! just wished I had watched this earlier because I always loved coconuts but never had any good experience opening one without making my house sounded like a war zone!
just watched your video with my son (3 years old) .. great video btw! we are watching it over and over again per his request!!!
Great instructional video. I wish more instructional videos were like this. ❤️
Good demo. Except you should not be advocating getting you coconut wrapped in plastic. Plastic does not make things "clean". It is bad for the environment and bad for you. Plus it is is a bloody hard shell that you don't eat (natural packaging).
hey great vid. have you considered trying the coconut knife? i bought two on amazon and it is a really useful tool for removing the coconut meat after you halve the coconut. A must buy.
A useful video. A lot of people try to open a coconut using a hack-saw, but this method here is a lot easier!
Thank you. This vid was just what me and MY two little boys were wanting to help us with our coconut! Your little guys had fun, so cute. Thank you again!
Thank you for posting. Was able to break open coconut just now and have some. Delicious.
I just tried this and it worked! Psyched!!! Thanks so much for these really clear and simple instructions...love the kids and their sound effects ;-)
Your children look so happy and lovely, and the oldest one looks like my nephew :) By the way, it seems you are a good father.
The boys are too funny! I'm going to try the young coconut next time. Thanks for the tips!
I've never seen a young coconut before...
I sure want to see one too, so much juice inside it.
RiskYAyudA yup!
Your children are precious. Thank you for all the information.
I used the same tool as you after trying hard with a hammer that didn't work. Thanks for the help! I also like the way you explain a little about coconuts. And your younger son is funny! Haha
I didn't know about young coconuts. Live and learn! Thanks.

Thank you so much for this. It was extremely helpful, I was at a total loss as to how to get the meat out! :)
Is not that difficult to get the meat out. If you have hammer of any kind will more then suffice to do the job. Just give it a nice whack at it as if it was the last bottle of water on the planet and split the earth in half.
Respect for you! That's alot of work for some coconut juice !
its 4am, i started watching bo3 and now im learning how to open a coconut... i don't even like coconuts....
This video is about how to disarm a ClaymoreM18. Man what are yu on?
10:09 am.... I'm doing the same thing
God bless beautiful kids
And if you keep going, you'll also learn how to measure a man for a suit alteration, evaluate a video game's basic design and play-style elements from a developer's perspective, cook foreign dishes you don't have the ingredients for, break in toe shoes for a ballet hobby you don't have, and other compellingly need-to-know-now sleep-repelling things just like I did! *blinks bloodshot eyes*
Next thing he'll be teaching us how to defend ourselves against someone who attacks us with a pointed stick! ;)
I love the way you explain this
1st time seeing any of your vids and as a man with no kids... your adorable boys got me thinking .lol Very informative vid thanks for sharing!

Great ways to handle the coconuts. and you have a ready market for the water and meat - the great kids you have behind you.

Thanks! Been hitting the coconut the wrong way haha....did this way and it opened in 15 seconds!
Best way I've seen to get into a coconut!
Wow thank you. I used to just smash them outside on the concrete and collect the little pieces that fly everywhere.
Informative...

This was cute and informative 🙆🏾♀️♥️
now i won't feel stupid opening a coconut. thank you :)
and those children are adorable!
ok, i'd love to see that technique:)
I'm here cause at about 400 AM I woke up saying I MUST have a coconut...NOW...you know it's bad when you are debating whether to get dressed...go to the store to get a coconut...and then realize it might NOT be a good idea to follow thru with banging a fresh coconut cause you have neighbors.

AT least no one can complain (yet) about my banging in the middle of the day. Got to love Safeway....they had a lot of coconuts...and now that I had a few pieces I am saying...was it worth it all?
He facepalmed at the end. lol love it!
The kids are too cute specially the younger lad
is it possible to use a giant rusty axe?
Ender Lord yes - and/or a chainsaw with a 28 inch bar, more dramatic that way - neighbours love it.
