I don't like heating them very much but there's a soft brown layer between the shell & meat and you can separate them gently with a strong sharp knife... mine just came off in only five pieces, just shave the brown layer off the meat w/ a potato peeler :)

@Pandabearkt

This is correct you can do it without burning them , just cracking them open and then removig the brown tough skin with a sharp knife.

i thought coconut milk came from the actual coconut

i try to follow the video.but i fail to separate the black skin from the white meat. How you do it? How long you fire the coconut?

@nickdandruff

you can use a paring knife!

@champjcp995

coconut water does, the milk comes is extracted from the flesh

Nice vid..just wish to add,that coconut milk CAN be drunk straight away,there are dessert recepies,ice creams that can be made from raw cocomilk.its a great source of fat.it shouldnt taste bitter at all,it has normaly a nice creamy texture :)

@mkkm7

one week, better freeze it in small flat freezer bags

@BFac

if the coconut water is bitter then the coconut has gone bad

@nickdandruff

yes you burn it for some time and if it doesnt come off use a knife

@sulivel
