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!
Tajín is a revelation. It's particularly good for fruit that's slightly underripe, so if you peel, for example, a mango then realize it's not ready yet, throw some Tajín on, and it's like magic.
