Let’s get one thing straight: the grapefruit is built for scooping, and no job is too tough for it, not even the slimy seeds of a melon or squash. I don’t know about you, but I have one or two spoons that are now traumatized from getting tangled in the web-like guts of an acorn squash or the slippery mass of seeds in a canary melon. But since a grapefruit spoon has sharp, serrated sides, it cuts through the mess to scoop out the seeds effortlessly.
