do you salt your fruit?

[Deidre]

I'm half Italian, and a tradition that my dad has followed is wrapping a salty thin slice of prosciutto around a small cube or slice of honey dew melon, or cantaloupe. The salty/sweet combo is.so yum.

Other than that, I sometimes lightly salt watermelon.

Tomatoes are not fruits!

I'll stick with the botanical experts stating a tomato is actually a fruit and not the Supreme Court insisting it's not. LOL! Watta world. '0]

I salt green beans and yes, it's a fruit.

Believe it or not.

Why on earth would you need to salt your fruit, its either you want to taste the fruit or you want to tastee salt.

That isn't how that works. Salt enhances flavour because it brings liquid to the surface, and that liquid is made up entirely of whatever flavours are already inherent in the food. For instance, do you like chocolate?

Chocolate without salt(that is chocolate candies, bars, anything) is honestly extremely disappointing. You will not find a single recipe from a respected institution saying not to salt something made with chocolate, be it cake or candies or what have you.

Interesting. So it isn't magic.

Not technically magic. It sure does taste like magic though, doesn't it?

Pretty much. I won't eat unsalted French fries, etc.

Only fruit, and one of the few foods I ever put salt on, is limes. I'll put salt on a lime several times and eat the whole thing.

Tomatos are technically a type of berry, which indeed makes them a fruit.
The closest thing I've ever heard of to salting fruit is a lime and/or lemon slice on a salted rimmed glass of a margarita. I've never done it, and I don't use salt enough to really even think about doing it.

Theres a botanical classification and a legal one. It makes for some bemused headscratching.
