Just for fun, I let Newt pick out a coconut at the grocery store. Last time I got one, it took a screwdriver, a hammer, and a saw to open it. This time I did this:
and had it open in less than a minute. We decided to share the coconut water, but Newt was not impressed and ended up giving it all to me. Like an idiot, I drank it all.
Did you know that coconut water can be a powerful laxative?
Me either. But I do now.
What a great find! I didn’t know that part about saturated fats or about the laxative properties – Thanks for the “warning” lol

that was so cool. my daughter loves coconut but it has always been such a pain to open. can’t wait to give that a try!
Wow, he knows a lot about coconuts. Was he using a meat cleaver? I’m going to have to try this technique!
Heidi here: He was using a meat cleaver, but I just used the back of a chef’s knife. I couldn’t believe how well it worked.
Yes! I did know about it’s properties as a laxative! Ha! I got a good laugh! Hope you’re feeling better!
I buy the One Natural Experience coconut water…much easier to open and I can’t tell the difference in taste between that and taking the pains to open a real coconut!
