Our Balinese Hand-Crafted Virgin Coconut Oil – How To: Step 1

To produce virgin Balinese coconut oil, the coconuts must first be totally ripe.
Tip: The young green coconut is full of delicious water. The dark brown one has ripened and is full of rich white coconut meat. From this meat the oil will be produced.
The outer shell is opened and its small, tan colored fibers become visible. This shell can be used for many different purposes. For example, you could get crafty and make your own floor mat or use the shells simply as firewood.
Once the outer shell has been opened, you’ll find a smaller shell where the coconut meat is located.
The inner harder shell needs to be split open with a large, heavy knife to reach the rich meat. This shell is very hard, so a sturdy knife is necessary.
The meat can be used for coconut flakes, added to smoothies, dehydrated coconut chips, or oil production for a wonderful boost in essential vitamins and nutrients.
Be sure to read step 2 here and step 3 here!
