Coconuts

[Janne]

Yeah but I think the OP is about fragments (after the coconut's been cracked to get to the meat) That limits uses a bit. I wonder if there's any nutritional value to be gained from the shells? Tea? Ground into something else?

You can use c. shell in your brass shell cleaning machine.

Pieces have a limited use. Tengu, next time try not to break the shell. You can extract the meat by cutting a triangular hole between the eyes.

That's a trick I'd like to see; it can be hard enough prying the meat from a sliver unless it's dried (over-ripe) Easy enough to get the coconut milk through the eyes though.

I hadn't thought of that. A sub for walnut shells.

Fresh ripe coconuts have soft shells. Just get busy with a hand saw and cut the shell into whatever shapes you like. No big deal.
