Great video! I love fresh coconuts so much. They're so easy to open. How many different varieties of coconuts are there? I've been to South East Asia and everywhere I went there were only the green ones. Whereas in South America there are both the green ones and yellow/orange. I prefer the South American ones, they are much sweeter!

First let me just say that I find all of your videos entertaining do to the amount of explanation you put into them. Thank you! I have one question. Is there any way to tell how to pick them if they are at the store in the husk or down to the white right next to the husk?

Watching you do this and having one in my kitchen, with no real good place to hack at it, except maybe the garage, I think I have another easier solution: drill. Drill with a bigger bore drill bit.

Omg. These guys make enough to actually give some away for free?? Here in india, we grow good coconuts yet we are always at loss because coz we have to sell them at 7-10 cents each if they are good sized. Then they transport them to cities and sell at 35cents each. With huge labour charges for plucking coconuts we always end up at loss or at marginal profits if everything goes well without any cyclones or unseasonal rains.
