Ok, I need to know is this true? Who has tried this or is willing to try? Very curious!

I don't like watermelon, or else I would try it.

Not sure I would want to chance it. Love watermelon.

I have always heard this but am not willing to try it. LOL

I just so happened to be eating watermelon when I logged in. I have never salted my melon, but today I took one for the team and tried it. Bleck! LOL

You are so brave. LOL

Jeanne, you are my hero! Good job stepping out of the comfort zone.

So, I'm going to translate "Bleck" = Boys & Girls don't try this at home!

We ate salt on watermelon, cantaloupe and such growing up. Never thought about why, it just didn't taste right without it. I don't have to take meds or anything, but I do watch salt consumption. I don't think there's any reason anyone should think it makes it sweeter. For sure, it just adds more sodium to your intake.

I dont know how it could make it sweeter.

I know in baking they say salt brings out the sweet in things, I guess it is the same concept?
