Salted apples????? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit8 months ago

hi my friends in Mylot,

In some discussions about food I read that many of our friends in the US sprinkle a little salt on apples when eating.
I never heard of this before. So please tell me what salting an apple is good for, mainly as we are recommended to use fewer salt to improve our eating habits.
Thanks a lot. Have a wonderful day.

As far as I know, it is not good for anything except changing the taste. It's not bad, just do not over-salt it. o:

Thank you valenas, wanted to know whether it only has to do with taste or also has some "health" background. Have a sunny day.

It's just a 'taste' thing. Like putting salt on cantalope or watermelon, same thing...lori

It is only a matter of taste. i don't salt apples. but I would salt melon if it wasn't very ripe and sweet. I limit my salt intake and use a salt substitute but use that only seldom.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

I didnt know you can salt watermelon as well. Might try this when we buy some next time. Have a wonderful day.

I salt my apples sometimes. But its just for a different taste. I have heard of some people salting oranges, bananas, and peaches. I haven't tried that and don't think i'm going to.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AmbiePam (11804)   ranked 23 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

Ugh! I can't imagine salting oranges, bananas, or peaches. But I guess different cultures have different preferences.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

Thankd shymurl, salting oranges or peaches or bananas sounds weird. Have a wonderful evening.

Well I do put salt on most of my fruits. But it will only be Lite Salt.. And when I do put salt on it, it will only be in moderation. There are times that I will not use salt. It does taste good. It brings out the taste better, that is just in my opinion.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

hi cream thanks for the info, we also have some lite salt at home bec of my husbands health. I may try this.

Salting apples just gives it a different flavor, much like putting cheese on an apple pie gives it a different flavor. My grandmother used to tell us that you salt a juicy, sweet apple, but never a tart one. I guess that makes sense.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

hi kenzie I never thought it would also depend on the taste of the apple. I tried it with golden Delicious apples and also with Braeburn and it tasted amazingly good.

I've never heard of that. It sounds like it'd be weird. I guess it might be ok, though. I know some people eat apple chips which have salt on them. I've tried them and I liked them. From my experience peole in the US eat things because they taste good, not becasue it's good for them.


myLot reputation of 95/100. AmbiePam (11804)   ranked 23 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

Ouch! I promise, a lot of Americans DO eat healthy, lol.

thanks sly wondered about this as well........

Yes, this is very common here. My mom likes to do that, and I guess I used to do that when I was a child, but not anymore. We'd cut them in slices and then put less than a pinch of salt on them. For someone who is healthy this is not a big deal. The amount of salt put on the apple is very very small.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

hi Ambie I have done that too and surprisingly enough I liked the taste of salted apple.

Hi Book! Wow, you bring back childhood memories with this. I can remember my older brother salting apples, and I hadn't thought of that for eons. I think it just intensifies the taste of the apple. You know how salt improves the taste of pretty much everything, so it sort of makes sense that it might 'improve' or intensify the taste of an apple. Geez, now I want an apple and some salt, lol! Thanks for the memory, Book. Have a wonderful day. Be safe and have fun!happy


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

happythats lovely to hear that childhood memories are coming back to you this way. Enjoy your apple with salt and have a wonderful day my friend.

Hie Book1962, salted apples do taste great and it's good for a change.
Over here we sprinkle salt ( small amount ) to delay the slices of apples ( flesh ) from turning to brownish and ended up not that appetizing later. But some like to do that because it tasted better.
Now mostly people are more health conscious so instead of using salt they use lemon/lime juice instead to delay the process. Whether it;s salt or lemon juice, it equally taste wonderful.


myLot reputation of 97/100. book1962 (10495)   ranked 1 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

thanks Desierra for that info, I didnt know the salt also keeps the apple from turning brown. Have a wonderful day.


myLot reputation of 100/100. Desierra1004 (435)   ranked 82 out of 2,101 in fruit  8 months ago

You are welcome. That's the goodness of apples, no matter how we eat it, it always taste great.

Cheers and happy posting!
