Salted apples????? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit1 year ago

hi my friends in Mylot,

In some discussions about food I read that many of our friends in the US sprinkle a little salt on apples when eating.
I never heard of this before. So please tell me what salting an apple is good for, mainly as we are recommended to use fewer salt to improve our eating habits.
Thanks a lot. Have a wonderful day.

goodness salt on apples, no way. I am also inthe USA but
I have never put salt on an apple.yuck. Anyway I am
salt fast and have high blood pressure so I do not
'salt anything ever. most things have some salt in them'anyway
and too much sodium is not good for anyone.

hi thats what I thought. I tried it and find it tastes nice but I limit myself with eating my apples this way.
My blood pressure is still allright but I wont be careless about it.

I never heard of sprinkling salt on apples either and I'm from the US..I really don't care for too much salt anyway....but I remember long time ago, in another discussion the person mentioned sprinkling salt on watermelon..he told me it actually makes it tastes sweeter if you can believe that


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

oh thanks Pye I found something similar with the apple. I used an unripe Braeburn to test it and it tasted much better with salt than without.

I eat apples both ways, with and without salt. I don't know that it is good for anything, but it sure does taste good.

I think it's for the matter of flavor only. We have a special salt here for fruits, the salt is kind of reddish orange in color and it tastes salty (obviously..) and kind of spicy. I personally don't like them but my brothers love them, to add to apples, pears, and some other fruits.


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

special salt for fruits, that sounds good to me after I have tried that salted apple and found that a nice change of taste too.

I remember that my father used to sprinkle salt on tart, green apples only. Salt apparently reduces the bitterness and acidity and brings out other flavors. I don't salt fruit at all (I actually use very little added salt) but I've read that pepper, too, is great with fruit such as strawberries and cantaloupe. You can also serve fruit salads with a black pepper dressing:)


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

hi thinkingoutloud, I have heard about the pepper on strawberries as well but have not tasted it yet. Have a lovely day and thanks for your comment.

I've also heard the praises about good quality balsamic vinegar on strawberries but can't yet bring myself to try it LOL! You have a lovely day too:D

i've tried salted apples myself. it only works with iodized salt and not rock salt. don't put too much though. the sweetness of the apple and the saltiness will overwhelm your taste buds.


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

hi allen thanks I have already tried and it tastes sooo good.

Hi book, I've never heard of salted apples, and I can't say it really appeals to me. One of my friends is from the US, and some of the things she's told me about foods I've thought were unusual, but never heard the apple one. She has said that jelly, or jello, was used for all courses, not like here in Australia where it is used solely as a dessert! I've also seen people use lemon juice on watermelon, and that idea doesn't appeal either, although I will admit I'm can be fairly fussy.


myLot reputation of 96/100. book1962 (14554)   ranked 3 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

hi muscare my dad used lemon juice on watermelon, and I do that as well when eating it. strangely it does not work with cantaloupe or other melons just with watermelon.

I wonder what else you can do with jello apart from making a dessert with it, I have not heard of other uses of that stuff by now.
have a wonderful day.


myLot reputation of 91/100. muscare (1147)   ranked 2,605 out of 2,882 in fruit  1 year ago

I guess I'll have to try the lemon on watermelon, and maybe even salt on apples. As for the jello, my friend said it was used in salads and vegetable dishes. She hates jello now, and won't even make it for her kids.
