Abstract: A food grater is disclosed comprising an inverted V-shaped freestanding frame defined by first and second panel members (4,6) pivotally joined at upper ends. The panels fold into a parallel orientation for storage and expand into a freestanding orientation for use. Outwardly directed food grating means (22) in at least one of the panels is provided to grate food passed thereover, and apertures (20) communicate with the grating means (22) to pass grated food segments to an inside surface of the panel. A transparent collection container (44) attaches to the inside surface of the panel and serves to collect the fragmented food and display its quantity to the user. The grating means (22) comprises cutting elements having a U-shaped cutting edge, comprising spaced apart first and second parallel and linear leading edges (28), and a trailing cut-off edge (32) at a rearward end for cutting off the food fragment.
