You may eat the coconut directly from the shell.
If you plan to use it for cooking or salads you will have to grate or shred the meat after peeling off the outside brown skin. This is fairly easy to do with a potato peeler or small paring knife. A food processor makes short work of grating or shredding. A salad maker or hand grater can also be used.
The average coconut will give you 3 to 4 cups of grated coconut. The grated coconut will keep in the refrigerator a few days. It may be stored for longer periods in the freezer or dried in a dehydrator. If freezing, store in pre-measured 1/2 cup portions for fast convenient use.
