Whats the point of this video lol. Everybody knows salt is cultivated from the youtube comment section.
Salmon Fish Pahahaha!
Tumblr is also a fine place to get some salt
Salmon Fish fitting considering this comment section and its over abundance of foodie plebeians.
The absolute best salt is found in the replies to Donald Trump's tweets.

Lol her reaction to tasting the salt
It's salt, not a prime rib
yea it seemed so fake lol
It may be just salt. But different type of salt can taste differently like pink or table salt or sea salt or black Hawaiian.salt taste differently depend on the ocean/lake it has been cultivated. Also how it has been process.
its salt, it could have a slightly different taste than regular salt, but only slightly. I got into a whole salt craze awhile ago and spent a bunch of money on artisan salts like a hipster douche and there is barely any discernible taste between different salts. The only salt that has a pronounced flavor is truffle salt, and it's generally not worth using, and not worth the cost. DONT TRY TO GET ME HYPE ABOUT SALT KIM
obviously there'll be a different taste but she was wayyy to into it that it seemed fake. when she was trying to describe salt she failed to do so lol 7:29. literally said it tasted like salt. she said one thing about texture but thats not enough to go "oh my god" with. the moment the guy mentioned some other thing she obviously went "that's exactly it." lol.
it taste salty
what a great business.. get free salt water from the ocean.. use the sun to evaporate it.. sell the salt for lots of money. he's a smart man!
In what way is it free. He still has to get his money from it. As I can see in my country the average a kg of see salt is sold for 5 euro. So for our amarican friends that's about 2 dollars a pound. So from the trip they did they will earn 15 times 2 dollars. So that's 30 dollars. But the selling prices is including the tax. So you can take that off the profit. Don't know what the tax on salt is in America. Than I assume he still needs to package the salt transport it. So probably than a part off that 30 dollars is already gone. I assume in America you also have to pay income tax on the money you earn. Atleast in the Netherlands you have to. So not sure about the American system. So how much of the original 30 dollars is left. And also don't forget all the extra insurance that he needs for his company, electricity bill, fuel and etc.
Ideas are easy... marketing is hard...

I appreciate the simple craftsmanship that goes into producing this salt
If I made two batches of soup, one with sea salt and the other with regular table salt (not the American iodized version), I guarantee it would be virtually impossible to taste the difference in blind taste-tests.
Personally I prefer sea and rock salt to regular table salt because psychologically, it does taste better!
This salt is not used in soups, in a restaurant they will use 'table salt' for cooking and then use this type of salt to finish a dish, so this salt only goes on top of dishes.
That's not the point, the problem is in the minerals inside the salt, in the normal salt they take out those important minerals that your body need.
When she’s talking about how good his salt is, he’s just so proud
This guys voice is so amazing and the way he talks, i want to see him so voice overs for audio books
literally went straight to the comments when she said "Omg it tastes like clean pure salt"
eats pure sodium chloride
mmmhm so delicious
yeah sure
Jakob Heppner Not pure sodium chloride, its a combination of different salts which makes it taste like it does.
Theres also tons of vitamins and minerals in it but yea i get what youre saying
sodium chloride is table salt, and I think it's different from sea salt...?
Al Castill No, that's just full-leaf sauerkraut.
sodium chloride is the chemical composition of sea salt, rock salt is the one with different composition and flavor
"Taste salt"
Lady: mmmhhh dElIcIoUs
Bruh😑
I know you're skeptical but salts vary in flavor due to texture and minerals contained in it. Course salt is less salty than table salt.In contrast, salt with high a mineral content tastes earthy.
Real shit.
When i first saw the cover the video i thought
"This looks like a really fun episode.."
Thinking Eater was making an episode on cocaine
lol.. right 😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
To other people, different salt textures can really change a dishes flavor and experience. They arent wrong. Most premium dishes, like dishes that are a 100 dollar 6-8 oz steak, use premium salts
How is this salt "premium"? That ocean water looks like what I remember as a kid before my city started processing our sewerage instead of just dumping it into the ocean!
must be using premium fire flame as well...

It's made out of water! That's so awesome! Now I learn more about salt thank you
salt tomato and cucumber is a match made in heaven...
A large applause for THE CAMERAMEN
It's the most beautiful, perfect salt. It's got that pure clean flavor that comes from the impurities.
just like from the ocean ? that's loaded with sewage and medicinal waist ..
awesome flavours
That is the labor intensive way to make salt. To the South of San Francisco Bay is Morton Salt. What they do is flood entire fields at high tide, close the water gates and wait for the sun to evaporate the water and they bulldoze it into big piles. Incidentally, when you see the salt fields covered with water, the water is red and when the water evaporates, the salt is red. I imagine they fix that somewhere along the line. The dive company I work for did a job for these people so this is the only part of the operation I saw.
There is a sucker born every minute.

I recent returned from the Philippines where I ate breakfast at a local Mom and Pop stand by the sea (Hundred Islands State Park) in Pangasinan Province. They had salt cultivated from the Philippine Sea. Pangasinan means "Place of Salt". It was SO tasty. Flaky, very smooth with a soft flavor. Nowhere near the boldness of some salts I've tasted in the States. I wish I would have brought some back home!!
Nice..
Wow!!! very cool! love knowing where things come from and how its made! Love it Eater!
I have a spring where I live that produces natural salt. It's the best salt I've ever had. And it's free.
Katie feels the final salty product is so rewarding.
I love the idea of making my own salt. Really wish this video told me how to do that.
I get how to collect the seawater. Then put it through a filter. Then.... what? Do you just pour the seawater onto those evaporation tables? What other filter do they use? Does all the water evaporate? Can you collect that water and use it or is it still too salty? What was the difference between the "original" and anything else? Do they add anything to the salt?
Im afraid this video was a little less informative than i would have hoped.
You just let the water evaporate it's not that hard.
It's extremely simple.
After the water is filtered it is poured into the evaporation tables to evaporate. Then when enough water has evaporated and the salt crystals form you scoop up the salt and move it to another area to drain any remaining water and finish the drying process.
You can do almost the same thing in a few hours by just boiling salt water in a pot, then putting it in the oven to completely dry after the crystals form. Also since salt doesn't evaporate, if you collected the steam from the water as you boiled it you would have pure drinkable water.
As far as I know if you wanted to add anything to the salt it would need to be done before the crystals form so that it could become part of the salt. Though doing so would be completely unnecessary since salt is a mineral.
Most salt comes from clean parts of the world's oceans, not the filthy mucky oceans in this video. In places where the water is crystal clear, they just use pumps to bring the water into large salt pans & then just leave it there until there's no water left. They probably do use a filter too for quality control or whatever, the filter this guy's using is very basic, so big operations probably have the same thing built into their pipes. Traditional method to make salt was to built channels so that it would run into the salt pans at high tide & then close them off once they were full so no more water got in or out until the harvest of that batch was complete
This salt + tomatoes = best thing ever.
THAT GUY HAS A VERY RELAXING VOICE
This girl was as trooper. Hats off.
This man is a genius! I'm gonna go get some ocean water, get the salt and slap an artisanal label on it,, Boom instant win
Someone show this man the invention of the electric pump
a siphon works just fine and you don't have to run a power cord every time you want to move water
Exactly!!
He's just being pretentious, so he can say it's all done by hand!!
Jokes on him though!! That jeep is only quarter ton rated capacity, he keeps loading 900 pounds of water in it he's going to have to replace that jeep soon.
His mouth touches pipe where is hygiene squad now?
OMG this salt taste so good
How do they keep dirt and stuff out of it while it's drying?
I've tried so many different salts... I really can't taste ANY difference, regardless of shape, form, grain size, etc.
Orlyy thats where the nets are for i guess
They all taste like ... salt. But the texture and size do make a difference in do you want to eat "salty" food or "salted" food.
Anyone else eating sea salt while watching this? 😍👍
Eating salt is bad for your heart
You are doing a good job,
All the best.
Fascinating. 👌✌👍👊
Eats some salt
Omg, this tastes like good salt 🤯😱😲🤤😍 it’s flaky the crystalisation is.. like... so... um.. nice? 🤤
80% of the salt come from online games
So this actually IS (minus the "rustic equipment" rigmarole) how you would make artisanal sea salt, but most of the table salt we usually eat is produced from mineral or rock salt, sometimes excavated mechanically in the salt mines of Overwatch.
Depends where in the world you are & how polluted your oceans are. Where I live probably 98% of salt is sea salt. Even "rock salt" is just a name for chunks of sea salt that go into a grinder. The only salt we can even get (to my knowledge anyway) where I live that comes from the ground instead of oceans are the various "pink salts" such as Himalayan rock salt & our local versions of that. When oceans are clean, it's just FAR cheaper & more efficient to harvest sea salt than ground salts
Salt evokes negative comments, scratching my head.
This type of salt tastes and really has a different texture because thr classic factory mass made salt is So refined and bleached that it removes tgr natural mineral tastes and texture.
Year i can tast dif to rock and sea and table salt pat ur self on back my friend
I thought its gonna be brad from ba
Traditional flat ground salt making is much fun and better
Oh my that salt must be so good lol I have the same salt in my house but a cheaper version that does the same trick lol
Nothing like a nice amount of algae and dehydrated seagull turds in your salt lol get it filtered man!

Welcome to the 2021 of learning or seeing how to make salt!
In my experience the only real difference with salts are texture and shape. Coarse salt good from grilling or seasoning meats. You won't get much in flavor from the salt itself unless something is added.
Why not boil the sea water??
vincesanity14 The crystals form differently. A slow process forms larger crystals
tanman1110 i see... Thanks man
Making salt should be thought of as growing crystals not as much as concentration
Adds cost. Sunlight is free
jomsart he could easily be using greenhouses to help in the drying process but instead, he uses open air and doesn't let it fully dry before harvesting. If he wanted bigger crystals, he would be letting it dry to a slab-like state and then getting it out.
Will the ocean eventually become empty from him doing that
People have made salt that way for centuries
@@carlbrib26 hes kidding dumb ass
@@isaiahmorales5068 it's been two months now I can harvest the salt.

Wow that was amazing! I never knew this is how salt is made which is crazy because salt is very much the foundation of cooking
This isn't how most salt is made. Most of your table salt is mined from old sea beds, dissolved in water, filtered, and dried.
In France & North Africa they do this on a much larger scale - this is one of the uses of the sirocco wind. Romans evaporated sea water in shallow lead pans.
recoil53 oh okay! I didn’t know that either, thanks for letting me know 😊
true
Maria John, you are a moron.
Like said above most salt isn't made like this. To do it this way takes a lot of effort. I work for a salt factory. And we get the salt from underground deposits. I just work as an electrical technician so I don't know all the details. But seawater has a really low salt contant. The salt we pump from out of the ground is around 30% dissolved into water. And I believe the sea has less than 1%. Like I said I'm not an expert. But this seems to take a lot less energy to extract the salt from the water. And the end result is a high purity salt. So maybe all the hype about sea salt is that it contains the impurities.
Use the fourwheel drive for collecting sea water with buckets...... only in america
