Is just me, or does anyone else like sprinkling salt on their oranges?

Question

I know salt isnt good for you, but to me it gives them a sharper taste.

Answer 1

It's just you.

Answer 2

Never heard of it on oranges -- my husband swears by sprinkling a little salt on cantaloupe. Makes sense though -- you're correct, salt brings out the flavor in things -- what you describe as 'sharper'.

Answer 3

Salt brings out sweet! That said, I don't like salt on an orange, but it's wonderful on a banana or watermellon!

Ever tried peanut butter on a pickle? YUM

Answer 4

i sprinkle salt on a lot of my fruits. And oranges and salt taste wonderful!

Answer 5

I've never tried that, but I can see why you might like the taste. My mother loves to sprinkle salt on tomato wedges. I have tried that and it's pretty good.

Answer 6

I don't but I know others that like salt on oranges.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Salt on watermelon and sugar on grapefruit. Never had salt on oranges.

Answer 9

Nope - I have a friend who like salt on oranges and peanut butter on apples and celery - He claims it's an "Oklahoma thing".

Answer 10

Some people enjoy the sweet/sour combination that fruit and salt together make.

Answer 11
