Dissecting a Coconut

I see coconut at the grocery store all the time, but never actually bought one myself. Maybe because I grew up with coconut trees in our yard, and always have fresh coconut in hand. Anyway, I thought I would get one and see what I could do with it. This one turned out to be a bit older, and the flesh was hard. Due to its age, the juice was too sour drink.
 After about 30 minutes prying out the flesh, I decided run the flesh through my juicer and see how much coconut milk I could get out of it. 



In the end, I got some coconut butter, shredded coconut, a small amount of coconut milk, and a glass of sour coconut water. I think I'm going to make some curry with these homemade coconut products.
