Mine comes out with mushy pulp and juice. The first grater that Barbara
showed did not look like it would produce the same effect. That's the one
she doesn't use. The grater she does use produces shreds. I don't want
shreds. Another point, although strictly mechanical, is that the ceramic
grater with the nubs on it works much faster at the task than when I tried
it on my microplane.

HTH to clarify.
