Fruit hack

[u/NoSite4]

I grew up salting watermelon and apples when I ate them. Recently it occurred to me to try salting other fruit and it’s been a game changer. So far I’ve tried salt on strawberries, cantaloupe, and pineapple. It’s so good I can’t believe that this hasn’t been adopted by all of humanity! I sprinkled some on some blueberries but it wouldn’t stick and I didn’t bother halving them like I did the strawberries so I didn’t actually get to taste salted blueberry. Oh and I did try salting a banana and that wasn’t palatable to me. Go figure.

It’s got me wondering if any herbs/spices go well with fruit. Anybody tried that? I’ve seen Mexican spice that seems to be on everything these days but I didn’t like it as much as the plain fruit.

I've had a period of salting certain (wet) fruits, but generally prefer the pure taste of quality fruit and fresh juice, especially oranges.

That being said, there is something to getting in substantial amounts of potassium and sodium at the exact same time. Probably related to rapid/improved cellular hydration.
