Salting FruitThe people who salt mellons or other fruit swear that it makes the fruit taste sweeter. I know of no research confirming or refuting their opinions.

It has been shown that salt can block the bitter taste receptors on the tongue. This allows the sweet taste receptors to be more heightened by sweet. So while salt doesn't make the object sweeter by blocking some of the bitter taste buds he sweet taste buds are more active.
