A grater is a kitchen utensil used to grate foods into fine strips or crumbs. Several types of graters boast different sizes of grating slots, and can therefore aid in the preparation of a variety of foods. They are commonly used to grate [[cheese]] and [[lemon]] or [[orange]] peel (to create zest), and can also be used to grate other soft foods.

They are also known as shredders in Eastern America.

A [[nutmeg]] grater is a tiny grater with very small holes. It is used to grate [[nutmeg]] over eggnog, other creamy and frothy drinks, and any other food in which [[nutmeg]] can be used to garnish or add flavour.

The side of a cheese grater with the smallest holes will usually grate nutmeg perfectly well.
