Vegetable grater is one of the essential items in the housewife's kitchen. Although this item is small, it brings countless conveniences, helping to prepare vegetables more quickly. However, not everyone understands all the uses of each part of the vegetable grater. Most of us only use the tip of the knife to peel and grate without paying attention to the role of the small holes on the scraper body.

Recently, a post appeared online about the real uses of these small holes, making netizens curious. Many people, even with decades of housekeeping experience, still have to give up on this seemingly simple but extremely difficult question.

Specifically, these holes have the effect of grinding tubers such as ginger, garlic, onions, turmeric, potatoes,... into small pieces without having to use a knife to mince them. Holes are designed in the body of the scraper to facilitate handling, making grinding operations more convenient and quick.

In addition, these holes can also be used to make tools for stripping vegetables such as spinach, kale, etc. Below is a clip to help you visualize more easily.
