Highwall 267 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 salt is a necessity of life and used since ancient times as a seasoning, a preservative and a disinfectant. I put it on watermelon, cantaloupe, cooked vegetables, steak and eggs. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackwater 53393 6,139 Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 I use salt sparingly. It’s not good for ya’ in large quantity and there are other seasonings that offer more and better flavor with less detrimental effects. I use pepper, (several different varieties) in place of salt and have experienced a lower average blood pressure as a result. Having tried salt on different melons and other fruits, I only find it pleasing on tomatoes. Not bad in small dashes on cucumber. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
