Some persons like to eat fruit after spraying a pinch of salt over the cut pieces. Doing this definitely enhances the taste of the fruit and also there are other reasons. There might be a lot of germs or bacteria in the fruit.
Spraying of salt will prevent the spreading of germs/bacteria. In this, salt acts as a cleanser. When you soak fresh fruits in water mixed with a pinch of salt, the chemicals & disinfectants sprayed over the fruit get removed.
