This food guard slips on to the rail of the Gourmet Series Paddle Graters (except to Ultra Coarse Grater). It helps you to easily grate foods without putting your fingers in the way of the ultrasharp blades. Put smaller foods such as garlic, ginger, chocolate chips, nuts, and small veggies into the hopper, push down on the plunger and grate.

- the last small amount of parmesan or other hard cheese
Use with Coarse blade for:
- nuts to turn the grater into a nut flour grinder
- chocolate when garnishing
