Sprinkling salt on watermelon has become a popular trend, especially in the South, and it’s going viral for good reason!
Watermelon, particularly if it’s slightly underripe or not as sweet, can have faint hints of bitterness and tartness beneath its sugary exterior. Salt naturally cuts through these bitter notes, allowing the sweetness of the fruit to shine. This makes each bite even more enjoyable.
But salt’s magic isn’t limited to watermelon! It works wonders on other naturally bitter foods, like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, enhancing their flavors and balancing out any harshness. Similarly, fruits like grapefruit and cranberries, which have a noticeable bitterness, benefit from a sprinkle of salt to bring out their natural sweetness.
