Salting fruit?

My mom and grandma heavily salt their watermelon, canteloupe, and apples. I think this is just plain gross. Anyone else do this?

I like a bit of salt on green apples every now and then (i don't really like green apples so only when i really want that sour taste) but salt on watermelon or canteloupe is disgusting! my dh was the first person i ever saw to put salt on watermelon and I used to make fun of him for it so he doesn't do it anymore :P talk about ruining a good tasting fruit! lol

I don't, but apparently it is fairly common

Salt makes sweet things sweeter. I don't do it because I can't have the extra sodium but I've seen it done.

I sometimes put a little salt on my watermelon - it's amazing, no different than salted caramel! I've heard of salting sour apples but have never done it. My SIL puts salt AND pepper on her cantaloupe - I tried it, it was okay, but better without!

I salt my apples, I won't eat them without salt. I like salt on watermelon, but I eat it w/o salt.
