How do you take the bitterness out of fruit salad?
Select ripe and sweet fruits: Use ripe fruits that are naturally sweet and less likely to have a bitter taste. Balance with sweetness: Add a touch of natural sweetness to the fruit salad by drizzling honey, maple syrup, or agave nectar over the fruits. Alternatively, you can sprinkle a bit of sugar or a sugar substitute if desired. Citrus juice: Squeeze fresh lemon, lime, or orange juice over the fruit salad. Citrus juices can help balance flavors and reduce bitterness. Soak or rinse: If a particular fruit is still bitter despite being ripe, you can soak it in cold water for a few minutes or rinse it under running water to reduce bitterness. Remove bitter parts: If there are any bitter or unripe parts in the fruits, remove them before adding the fruits to the salad. Add creamy or salty elements: Sometimes, adding creamy elements like yogurt or a sprinkle of salt can help offset bitterness and enhance the overall flavor of the fruit salad.
