What is the relationship between mango and salt? In Indonesia some people like to mango and add some salt on it before eating. Not all people do that but it is a common practice. I see some of my friends do that at my workplace. I often did it too but I think it is not my way.

If it's green mango, we use either salt, shrimp paste, or brown sugar. For ripe mangoes, we eat it as is

I like fruit for its taste and do not add a bunch of salt.
