But what if we tell you that just by following some simple ways you can use the conventional way to extract the coconut meat.

​Boil the coconut

Yes, after draining the coconut water, break the shell with a hammer from the center. Boil water and place the two halves. Once boiled for 5 minutes and take it out with a tong and using a knife or screwdriver, extract the outer hard layer from the corners and you will observe that the flesh will come out effortlessly.
