Coconut / Coco, unidade

The coconut water has a pleasant, sweet taste. The white flesh is crunchy, nutty and has the typical coconut aroma. A pleasure! The nutty taste comes from the coconut pulp.
How do you open a coconut?
First, you drive a nail through two of the three "eyes" of the stone core and let the coconut water flow through one hole into a vessel, while air flows in through the other opening to balance it out. Then you take the nut in your hand and
smash the shell with a hammer. The pulp is cut into strips and eaten. Another method, after removing the coconut water, is to place the nut in a sturdy plastic bag and hit the soil or floor. It breaks into several pieces and the pulp can be removed. Very skilled “openers” also manage to open the nut with a knife by striking the nut all around.
