salt with watermelon ,i didn;t try upto now .but my friend said that , When salt is added to food it opens the taste buds so that they can absorb the flavor, or the sweetness of the watermelon.so i want to make a try salt on watermelon. my friend also told that she sprinkles lemon juice on watermelon .i should also try this.i hope both salt and lemon juice will be good on watermelon. but i don;t those will be yucky. may be it will be yummy i think .next time when i bring watermelon,i will make a try on salt.

I would say yucky becouse it is not right taste.

I enjoy watermelon both with & without salt. It is common practice to add black saltto refrigerated fruits. This prevents childred from catching cold.

hmm i haven't tried that but i could somehow imagine the taste and i don't seem to apprecriate the blending of the salt and sweetness. not for watermelons. but i love to do that to ripe mangoes that are not too sweet.

hey i've never heard of that! i should tell my husband about that, he's a sucker for watermelons and the smelly "durian". i'm cool with the melons, but yucky durian!

I've always added salt to my watermelon. It does bring out the sweetness. It especially works if the watermelon lacks in the sweetness department. My grandfather was an Eastern shore boy from Mayland and he taight me to eat watermelon that way. It does work. DCMerkle

i have never tried it.. my best friend says its good but i just cant bring myself to try it

The purpose of salt is to bring out the flavours in food. It does the same to watermelon too. I enjoy watermelon both with & without salt. It is common practice to add black salt to refrigerated fruits.This prevents children from catching cold.

I have no word to describe it. But some people do like salted watermelon. Every time they must sprinkle some salt to the fruit, before they put them on to their mounth. They found it yummy, and what I can about it?

I used to salt my watermelon when I was younger because that's the way my parents used to eat it. I no longer salt the melon. I don't need any added salt in my diet.

As many people have already said on here it just enhances the flavor. It may sound weird but you put salt in a lot of things that are sweet to bring out flavors. Ie. cakes, brownies, etc. I don't personally care for watermelon but my hubby does and he puts salt on his too.

I've never heard of nor tried salted watermelon. I agree with you about it being odd. I think it sounds like something I wouldn't like.

Me likey! I learned this trick from my dad. He puts salt on all kinds of fruit cantelope, apples, and pears! It has that sweet/savory flavor. It might also be a "okie" thing because he is from Oklahoma and come to think of it, all of my aunts and uncles do the same thing.

I've never salted my watermelon...I love it but I just eat it plain. It is one of my favorite fruits in the summertime. It is so refreshing and light. [b]**AT PEACE WITHIN** ~~STAND STRONG IN YOUR BELIEFS~~[/b]
