Why does my fruit salad end up tasting super sweet? Anyone else?

[lilbobby]

Hi, everyone! I've noticed my fruit salad ends up tasting super sweet, almost too much so. Does this happen to anyone else? I'm just using fresh fruits, no added sugar. Could it be the types of fruits I'm choosing? Would love to hear your thoughts and tips! Thanks!

I think your fruit salad might taste super sweet if you're using very ripe fruits or adding too much sugar. Though, balancing it with a squeeze of lemon juice or a splash of citrus could help!

Hey there! Yeah, I've had that happen to me too. Sometimes certain fruits are just naturally sweeter, like ripe strawberries or pineapple. Maybe try mixing in some tangier fruits like kiwi or citrus to balance it out? That usually works for me!

Fruit salads can taste overly sweet if the fruits used are naturally high in sugar, like ripe mangoes or pineapples; consider balancing with tart fruits like berries or adding a splash of lemon juice to cut the sweetness.

I agree. Balancing your fruit salad with some tangy berries or a squeeze of lemon juice can level up the flavors. It's all about that perfect sweet-tart balance for a refreshing bite!
