meaning 2 each of three pores at one end of the coconut

A coconut has three eyes at the top of it. One of these eyes is slightly softer than the others, making it perfect for piercing. Once you have created a hole in the coconut you can drain the coconut water out, so that when you crack open the shell you do not lose any of this delicious coconut water. A hole can be made through the eyes of the coconut using a corkscrew or by hammering a nail or screwdriver into it. Allow the water to drain into a cup or bowl.
