grapefruit spoon

Serrated breakfast tool

A grapefruit spoon is a small spoon with a serrated edge and pointed tip, designed to scoop segments from a halved grapefruit.

The teeth cut through the membrane separating sections.

Some have a serrated tip on both ends.

The utensil works equally well for other citrus fruits.
