WHY does salting a pineapple make it sweeter?

Despite the seeming paradox of this statement, the pineapple does get sweeter if you salt it.
As everyone knows, it is rich in various vitamins and minerals, a special enzyme called bromelain (which breaks down proteins), as well as fiber.

The pineapple is a real treasure trove of health benefits for our body, but its spicy taste is not to everyone’s liking. Actually, pineapple contains plenty of fruit acids, namely malic and citric acids. But the salt, reacting with the acid, neutralizes it.

Thus, pineapple truly appears sweeter to our taste buds. Simply because after the acid is neutralized, it will be less acidic.
