Description How to break a coconut properly.I first bought a fun sort of hatchet, and then realized that I would most likely chop off my fingers or my hand.. So I opted for a new way.I got a nail, a hammer and a towel.There are three darker spots on one end of the coconut, you nail holes in one or all three holes and then place the coconut over a container to collect the juice. Sometimes, this could take awhile. If nothing comes out, drive the nail through the top of the coconut to allow some air in. Now once the coconut is drained. Place the coconut on the towel, and wrap it. You probably want to do the next step on the ground, a sturdy leveled area. Now, if you have any angst this next part will be fun for you. Start Bashing!!! Youll need to initially hit the coconut hard, and within a few swings it will split open. Once you have the coconut in pieces, you can easily pry the coconut meat from the shell, it is slightly time consuming, so dont rush yourself. After you rinse the coconut meat, you can munch away.To store the coconut meat your options are as follows: Refrigerator (2-7 days)Freezer (1-3 months)Shredded/Grated and dehydrated (6-12 months)

I have started a personal photo project called "Fruit of Life". It is fruit from A-Z portrayed creatively and also with odd facts, nutritional facts and just randomness-- but with taste. Most of the photos shown on this profile are from that project.
If you browse through my flickr acct and see something on there that you would like to purchase, please do not hesitate a request for an upload and I will do my best to accommodate in a timely manner.
