Определение и Значение "grapefruit spoon"

What is a "grapefruit spoon"?

A grapefruit spoon is a specialized utensil designed specifically for eating grapefruits and other citrus fruits. It typically features a small, serrated edge on one side of the bowl, along with a pointed tip, attached to a handle. The serrated edge of the spoon is specifically designed to help loosen and separate the individual segments of the grapefruit from the surrounding membranes, making it easier to scoop out and enjoy the juicy flesh. The pointed tip of the spoon can be used to pierce and lift the segments for convenient eating. Grapefruit spoons are commonly made from stainless steel or another durable material, and they may come in various sizes and designs to suit different preferences.
