Daraei: Hi I am Daraei with RawFoodMedia.com and I am going to show you how to open up a coconut. Now, there is a big misconception that these things are hard to open. But just like anything hard, any kind of tough nut, I find -- asking sweetly to be the best way. Go to other side and you cut down towards the point. You want to basically reveal the hard part of the coconut. Soft part, now this is the part where people get afraid, they know there is liquid in there, they know there is beautiful coconut flesh, but they just don't know how to get it out. And you can bang and bang and bang for a very long time or you could ask sweetly.
Now, the way to ask sweetly is just knock on the door. Hello! Anyone home? Just go around tapping very gently and not too gently more of just in a circle and you'll feel the place where the blade, where the knife actually finds a soft sweet spot. So you just keep feeling for that, there it is. And what would be revealed is a door, you can see something has actually been revealed. When you see that. Now, that is not hard, let's put it in the bowl.
That is a nice coconut, and my kitchen floor is perfectly clean and that is how you open up a coconut. My name is Daraei, I am with Raw Food Media and look for me on learning how to make raw chocolate, bye.
