I'm a watermelon-salter.

Note: I NEVER put salt in a lot of things... only on watermelon and other melons -- it does bring out the sweetness!

nasty. I've never heard of that.

Me too.

I'd never heard of putting salt on melon until I moved to the US. Hubby and started digging into some water melon....i looked over at him and there he was with the salt shaker......I thought he was doing it as a joke.....but no....he was for real. NASTY! LOL

as anyone tried salt on watermelon and not liked it? I haven't so I guess I can't really know it it is gross or not...

I've never tried...I do have watermelon here at home. Maybe I'll try it just to say I have, but I am not expecting to like it.

I have never heard of such a thing.

I have one too.. hmm maybe I should try salt on a little piece and see if I like it...

Ok, I tried it. It made the watermelon actually taste sweeter. But it's not something I would do because it seems to ruin that watermelon is healthy by putting salt all over it. And it's not big enough of a difference to me to add salt.

I did too...lol. I thought it made it juicier. Who knows. I kind of felt guilty doing it though. My husband likes pepper on his. Weirdo.

its called maceration... like adding sugar to strawberries... the salt draws out water, which makes it juicier and concentrates the sweetness... its all good!

if you watch your sodium intake in other things, a little bit of salt with watermelon won't make it unhealthy... everyone needs some sodium

I tried it at the Mexi markets on the weekend - watermelon with salt, lime juice and chili - it was unbeliveably good. The watermelon felt much more watery and refreshing in my mouth.

Watermelon with salt =

No salt.
The first time I saw someone salt fruit, I was like:
I assumed it was a southern thing, since I'd never seen it in my life until I moved to Kentucky

that is how my hubby eats it with lemon or lime juice and this chili limon powder stuff...

this is the brand that he is using right now...

Salt is the only way to go with watermelon.

Never heard of salting it either...interesting. Sounds gross

Watermelon is one of our favorite fruits..
One of my girl buddies loves it too. So everytime we are sharing watermelon, we need to cut it in half because she loves salt and i hate it..

The only fruit I like salt on is green apples.

Yes, that's it! Yum yum yum!

I'll take mine without, thanks.

I salted it due to this thread. I dont salt ANYTHING ever and I did like it

I like with salt

I realize now I should have put an option for "haven't tried so don't know if I like it or not"

Lol, never heard about putting salt in watermelon. But sometimes, we do put sugar in watermelon.

Watermelon or any other fruit. I like them all natural

that goes with any fruit

and?? is there one that is just for watermelon??
