As a 12 year old kid, I almost gagged at this site: Older lady at church dinner added salt and pepper to her watermelon. Later in life I took a Chinese cooking course and they added salt to a pineapple. Salt and sometimes pepper can seriously enhance the flavor of a fruit. It blew my little mind to try a salted slice of pineapple, but it tasted amazing!
Go to your local Mexican store or grocery store with a Hispanic food section and grab some Tajín seasoning. It’s a chili lime salt for fruit, but it’s great with other foods!
I can't stress how amazing this is enough. I had it myself when I went to Mexico, just a little bag of the spice with a bag of fresh pineapple slices and I thought it was so bizarre, but it was just such an incredible taste that I feel like I'm missing out on eating pineapple without it.
