You have a lot of choices when it comes to the fruit you can choose, the most frequently encountered carvings being made of strawberries, melons, pineapples or papaya.

Fruit and vegetable carvings come from the Far East: China, Thailand and Japan, this being an activity which is thousands of years old. In China, artists use a great variety of tools and knives in order to make the decorations, the floral designs and so on and the pieces usually represent animals and tournaments. The artists in Thailand are well-known for their skills when it comes to fruit and vegetable carvings, as they use only one knife which has a flexible blade to do different floral decorations. This is a technique which is very difficult for the Europeans, which is why the handbooks contain combined techniques coming from China and Thailand.
