Fruit might sound like an odd food to add salt to, but it can actually bring out the fruit’s flavour and aroma, as well as reduce bitterness in unripened fruit or bitter foods like grapefruit.
You only need a dash of salt to get the fruity taste. As Tasting Table points out, this flavour concept is also behind practices like wrapping melons with slices of salty prosciutto.
Try it the next time you make fruit salad or eating ripe or unripened fruit.
