Abstract: A coconut grater for grating and removing the coconut flesh from the interior of a coconut shell has a rotatable shaft and a plurality of curved grating members. Each grating member has a front portion secured to a leading end of the shaft and then curving outwardly and rearwardly to extend in spaced relation to the shaft. A plurality of angularly spaced struts extend radially from the shaft at a location rearwardly spaced from the leading end thereof. Each grating member has a rear portion secured to at least one of the struts, and also has grating edges formed by small apertures with outwardly projecting sharp edges.
