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.
who are you?
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
They salt melons?
Try sprinkling some Tajin on melon.
Shit, add some chamoy too while your at it. 😋
I put salt on watermelon, it brings out the flavor more.
Imagine salt doing to food that thing it does to food.
Exactly, but lots of people are incredulous about the idea of salt on melon.
i don't know about other melons, but salting watermelon is pretty normal.
Prosciutto and melon is also a classic snack
I did this as a snack for my two year old last weekend. He loved it.
it was a different time.
They don't salt melons anymore?
why would you need to salt a melon? it's a melon
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.
who are you?
Because it's even better with Morton salt?
Morton Feldman salt or Morton Subotnick salt though?
Yeah they didn't have Tajín yet
Tidbit: the slogan is because Morton said their salt wouldn't cake in high humidity.
Salted watermelon and cantaloupe is delicious, fresh cucumbers are way better with a little salt too.
Cucumbers and tomato..excellent. The melons? Hard nope.
But to each their own.
thats wicked. REPENT!
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.
what's wrong with you people? watermelon is fine as is
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.
sounds like some eating live embryos in south east asia type of shit
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
I tried that once after hearing people talk about how good it is. It was NASTY.
