We found out how to get into those coconuts that are at the store. The ones that have the brown shell shaved off and it just looks like a big bowl with a pointy top. This guy is holding one.
We asked a lady here how she does it. She apparently had a technique all worked out.
1. Tap three holes (2 for air and one for draining) in it with a hammer and a screwdriver.
2. Drain the water. Chill it and it tastes great plain, and is great for you. Surely there are recipes that call for it...
3. Double bag the coconut, take it outside to some concrete, and bash it a few times.
4. Split it and spoon out the flesh. We eat it plain but it's good on sorbet and of course probably great in recipes. Look here's a paleo site with some ideas!
While we don't feel the need for the tool demonstrated in this clip, there is a nice visual of what the young coconut's meat looks like when you extract it.
