What are the benefits of eating coconut?
Rich in fibre and medium-chain triglycerides coconuts offer a number of benefits, including improved heart health, weight loss, and digestion. It's high in calories and saturated fat, so you should eat it in moderation. Overall, coconut makes a great addition to a balanced diet.
How do you open a coconut?
Drill a hole in it (where the eyes are), and then let the coconut water drip out into a bowl or large cup. Many people pop the coconut into a bag and then hit it with a hammer or mallet to break it up. If that’s a little physical, try popping it into the oven (Gas Mark 5, 375 Fahrenheit, 190 Celsius) for around 10 minutes until the shell cracks.
