A fruit skewer having an elongated central shaft for receiving and securing fruit, food or non-food items thereon for display or cooking. The portion of said shaft upon which the fruit or other item is to be situated has a cross-sectional area designed to prevent the object through which the skewer is inserted from rotating about the longitudinal axis of the skewer. In the preferred embodiment, said cross-sectional area is in a cross ("+") shape, although other shapes are anticipated, including a "Y" shape as well as a star shape having five or more fins (e.g., "*"). In this embodiment, the end of the skewer is tapered or beveled to allow for the easy insertion of the skewer into the fruit or other object, and said fins are chamfered. At least one projection is provided along the length of the skewer, said projection being provided so as to prevent the item through which the skewer is being inserted from sliding too far down the length of the skewer.
