A melon baller is a kitchen tool designed for scooping out round balls of fruit, particularly melons like cantaloupe and honeydew. It typically features a small, rounded scoop at the end of a handle, allowing users to create uniform, bite-sized pieces. This tool is popular for fruit salads, garnishes, and decorative presentations. Using a melon baller is simple: just press the scoop into the fruit and twist to remove a perfect ball. Besides melons, it can also be used on other soft fruits like kiwis and avocados. This versatile tool adds a fun touch to fruit dishes and enhances their visual appeal.
