What is the best way of opening a coconut?
The KungFu master in Malaysia could do it with his index finger. But ordinary mortals would require more than their fingers and teeth to do the job. . It is the dehusking that will certainly require a tool. There are specialized tools for this using which upto 120 coconuts can be dehusked by one person in an hour. There are automatic hydraulic mechines that could dehusk thousands of coconuts in an hour. . Breaking open the shell of the coconut after dehusking is easy. If no instrument is available a hard rock will serve the purpose. For scrapping the insides of a coconut too there are special instruments available.
