A grapefruit spoon is a utensil usually similar in design to a teaspoon that tapers to a sharp edge or teeth, the intent of the front serration being to separate the flesh of a grapefruit from its rind. Also called orange spoon, it is used for other citrus fruits and melons as well.

A variation of the design has a blunt front edge with serrated sides, enabling the

user to dig the spoon into the fruit before using the serrated side edges as a knife to separate the flesh from the rind.

These spoons are not generally found in most flatware sets but may be purchased separately from specialty stores.

Handle
Grapefruit spoons sometimes have a bamboo or wooden handle, which facilitates removing the flesh of the fruit by providing a solid grip.
