Although all parts of this fruit are used, only the water and meat of the white coconut are consumed. Coconut milk (made from the meat) makes a nutritious drink and can be used in curry sauces, while the meat itself can be eaten fresh, dried and used in baking, or pressed (where it is known as copra) and used to make coconut oil.
Preparation
To open a white coconut, pierce the 3 dark-colored eyes at the top of the white coconut with a screwdriver or ice-pick. Pour out liquid and reserve. Place the drained coconut on a baking sheet in a 350º oven for about 15 minutes, or just until the shell begins to crack.
Using a hammer, hit along the crack to break the coconut open.
