How to Open a Young Coconut

Drink the water, or save it for later.

If you want to drink the coconut water, now is the time! Stick in a straw and enjoy! Or, if you will be using the fresh coconut water in a recipe or want to save it for later, invert the coconut over a large glass to collect the water. Most young coconuts have about 10 ounces of fresh coconut water, so you will need a tall glass or large cup. But you're not done yet! You've still got to crack open your coconut to enjoy the soft white flesh inside.
