A hand utensil for peeling and pitting a fruit, such as a mango, has a spoon-shaped
bowl through which a plurality of elongated generally parallel slots laterally
extend in a lower region of the concave surface between the proximal end and the
distal end of the bowl. In addition, a series of arcuate ridges project from the
concave surface of the bowl, wherein each arcuate ridge has a radius of curvature
extending from a center point on a longitudinal axis defined by the bowl.
