What Does Salt Do for Watermelon?

Salt on watermelon has become a sensation across the South, spreading like wildfire online.

Why? Because it works wonders. Watermelon, especially when it’s not quite ripe or lacks flavor,

can have a subtle bitterness. Salt cuts through that bitterness, enhancing the sweetness and making each bite burst with flavor.

But it’s not just watermelon. Salt has a magical effect on other foods too. It balances the bitterness

in veggies like Brussels sprouts, cabbage, and kale, bringing out their best flavors. Even fruits

like grapefruit and cranberries, which tend to be bitter, benefit from a sprinkle of salt, intensifying their natural sweetness.

What’s more, salting watermelon can improve its texture. The salt draws out the fruit’s juices, ensuring each mouthful

is juicy and sweet. Some folks even salt their watermelon slices, giving them a few minutes to work their

magic before diving in for an extra delicious experience. So if you haven’t tried it yet, grab some salt and take your watermelon game to the next level!
