To determine if a coconut is good to eat, you can shake it to listen for the sound of liquid inside, check for any cracks or mold on the shell, and press on the eyes to ensure they are not soft. A good coconut will have a full sound when shaken, a clean and intact shell, and firm eyes.
A coconut with a face would likely have two eyes, a nose, and a mouth on its surface, resembling a human face.
Water enters a coconut through the pores in its hard shell, specifically through the eyes or germination pores located at the three "eyes" of the coconut. When the coconut is still green and immature, these pores remain open, allowing water to seep in. Additionally, the fibrous husk surrounding the hard shell can absorb rainwater, which can also contribute to the moisture content inside the coconut. Over time, this process helps maintain the liquid coconut water within.

Drill or punch a hole thru two eyes on the coconut, one lets air in while you drain the water through the other.
To determine if a coconut is ripe, you can shake it to listen for a sloshing sound, check the color of the outer husk (it should be brown), and press on the eyes to see if they are firm.
In traditional folklore, coconut eyes are believed to have mystical powers and are often used for protection against evil spirits. They play a significant role in shaping cultural beliefs and practices by symbolizing wisdom, insight, and spiritual guidance. People use coconut eyes in rituals, ceremonies, and as talismans to ward off negative energy and bring good luck.
The best way is to hold the coconut in one hand and look for the natural seam that runs between the two eyes at the top. Using a large knife or cleaver use the back of the knife to tap firmly round the seam. You may have to do this a few times but in the end the coconut will split into two halves.
To pick a good coconut, look for one that feels heavy for its size, has no cracks or soft spots, and has a sloshing sound when shaken. Additionally, check for a dry, brown husk and three "eyes" that are not moldy or damp.

Using a large knife or cleaver use the back of the knife to tap firmly round the seam. You may have to do this a few times but in the end the coconut will split into two halves. You can then ease the coconut flesh out of the shell using a sharp knife and chop or grate ready for use.
