In reply to Xx. Absolutely! Even then, it should be used within 2 - 3 days. Left on the counter, you have about 2 hours. Hope that helps.

In reply to Kathy. Thanks for the help! Does it need to be refrigerated after opening?

Our Samoan staff sends you their greetings! Steve Laulu, who manages the Islands at the Center asks me to share that “….What he wants you to know is that there is no easy way of removing the outer brown part of the coconut unless you painstakingly sit down and use a small sharp knife to cut it out. Kap Tafiti, our cultural advisor and lead presenter in the Samoan Village, shares that you could “try using a sharp vegetable peeler on large sections” and adds that “this part of the coconut is edible if that’s what you’re concerned about.” Hope this helps!

In reply to Kathy. What a great question. I'm going to reach out to our resident experts from the Samoa Village and see if I can get an answer. Hope to be back soon with an answer!

Hi! Thank you for the very detailed instructions on how to open up coconuts. I wonder if there is an easy method to remove the thin brown skin left on the outside of the coconut meat once the outer hard shell had been removed? I know that it can be cut off very laboriously with a knife, piece by piece, but I am sure there must be an easier way to do this.
