Melons are a delicious treat that millions of people all over the world enjoy each day. There’s all kinds of melons from honeydews to cantaloupes to watermelons.

In any case, choosing a melon that will be sweet and juicy is sometimes a luck of the draw no matter how many suggested tips we try for picking out the perfect one. Frankly, there’s a good chance that once home from the store, we cut open the melon only to be disappointed by a completely flavorless fruit. Most people would throw a bad melon away, but it turns out that there is a way to salvage it.

A simple hack is going viral that will help you enjoy that flavorless melon. All you need to carry out this easy hack is some salt!

When confronted with a bad melon, you simply need to rub some salt across a slice of melon with your forefinger. The salt will bring out the flavor of the melon while also compensating for the lack of sweetness. It really is that simple!

This hack has quickly gone viral, with social media users everywhere opening up about their own melon hacks.

“I grew up putting salt on my melons, well, all except watermelon, I like that plain,” one social media user wrote. “I was taught to eat cantaloupes and other melons with salt by my mother and probably her mother, my grandma too, as far back as I can remember. I forget that other people don’t do this. It always surprises me when eating melon around someone other than family, and they give me a funny look for putting salt on melons, and I just ask, ‘Doesn’t everyone put salt on their cantaloupe?'”
