Grapefruit spoon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A grapefruit spoon is usually similar in design to a teaspoon with a serrated front edge, the intent of the serrations being to separate the grapefruit from the rind.
A variation of the spoon design has a blunt front edge, with serrated sides, intended for the user to first dig the spoon into the fruit before using the serrated side edges as a knife to separate the flesh from the rind.
[edit] Handle
Grapefruit spoons sometimes have a bamboo or wooden handle, which facilitates removing the flesh of the fruit by providing a solid grip.
