I knew this comments would be "never heard of salt on melon" or the other half that they have always salted their melon. Personally I can eat it either way as it a melon, they delicious.

My mouth salivates at melon cube salad with feta cheese, basil, chili and flakes of salt.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

who are you?

[–] FavouriteShapes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

That sounds really good, but normal salted melon didn't vibe with me. Dedicating the melon to a savoury salad like you suggest is more lawful good though

Try sprinkling some Tajin on melon.

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Shit, add some chamoy too while your at it. 😋

I put salt on watermelon, it brings out the flavor more.

[–] Elting@piefed.social 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Imagine salt doing to food that thing it does to food.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Exactly, but lots of people are incredulous about the idea of salt on melon.

[–] celeste@kbin.earth 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

i don't know about other melons, but salting watermelon is pretty normal.

Prosciutto and melon is also a classic snack

[–] Sludge@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

I did this as a snack for my two year old last weekend. He loved it.

They don't salt melons anymore?

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

why would you need to salt a melon? it's a melon

[–] cannedtuna@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because salt helps draw out the water in the fruit which makes it juicier and taste sweeter. Just a little bit does a lot for it.

Also sweet + salty is a great combo.

[–] username_1@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because it's even better with Morton salt?

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Morton Feldman salt or Morton Subotnick salt though?

[–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 months ago

Yeah they didn't have Tajín yet

[–] kalpol@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Tidbit: the slogan is because Morton said their salt wouldn't cake in high humidity.

[–] Gerudo@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Salted watermelon and cantaloupe is delicious, fresh cucumbers are way better with a little salt too.

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Cucumbers and tomato..excellent. The melons? Hard nope.

But to each their own.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

thats wicked. REPENT!

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is kind of like salt and cayenne pepper on a mango. I thought it was crazy until I tried it. Salt on a watermelon is basically a electrolyte drink.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

what's wrong with you people? watermelon is fine as is

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The mango thing is a street food, forgot where like salted watermelon, its for high heat places. Sodium, potassium, Magnesium, water, sugar. Natures Pocari Sweat/Gatorade.

[–] BilSabab@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

sounds like some eating live embryos in south east asia type of shit

[–] myyass@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

My mind went somewhere else with that since I recently watched an episode of The Exiled Heavy Knight Knows How to Game the System lol

[–] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I tried that once after hearing people talk about how good it is. It was NASTY.
