A fruit seller explains how to tell if a coconut is good just by touching it and what is the best way to open it: “We just need…”

Raúl Cardaba, the user known as ‘tiktokero fruit bowl’ on the Chinese social network. In one of the latest posts on his account, the expert tells how to tell if a coconut is good just by touching it and what is the best way to open it.

The video of the fruit bowl begins with him holding a good coconut and a bad one in front of the camera. To show which is which, he shakes them, proving that both produce different sounds. According to him, the coconut that is in good condition is the one that sounds the most, “because it still has water.”

To demonstrate it, the user takes a screwdriver and pierces the coconut through two of the three holes it has. Afterwards, you drink the water inside and verify that, in fact, it’s freshso the coconut is in good condition and suitable for consumption.

Finally, with a hammer, the fruit bowl hits the coconut several times on each side, “slowly and patiently,” until it finally opens in half, allowing you to enjoy its white interior, which the expert defines as “wonderful.”
